Here at CiviCore, we are excited to announce the recent launch of an online grant application software system for the Helen K. and Arther E. Johnson Foundation. Here is what Cindy Willard, Senior Program Officer for the foundation, had to say about our work:
"The Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation is learning all the time how good data and application systems can make us more productive. We recently piloted an online grant application process with a select group of grant seekers. The Foundation has used a CiviCore database for three years to help us track our paper applications, reports, documents and notes. With the addition of an online grant application, we expect the application and review process to be more efficient for our staff and trustees, straightforward for our nonprofit partners and better for the environment with less paper involved in our work.
Applicants were able to set up an account and then add information to their application over time. When their application was complete, they hit the “Submit” button and sent it electronically to the Foundation. Then, we began our review and decision-making processes as normal. As a statewide grant maker in Colorado and one with several Trustees living out of state, the addition to our existing system is proving highly beneficial to our work."
The Helen K. and Arther E. Johnson foundation is now using our system to track grant application information for thousands of organizations, and CiviCore is proud to be able to help this wonderful organization with their grant application management process. We think this project, by web-enabling and increasing the efficiency of a charitable foundation's grant application and review process, really embodies what CiviCore is all about - creating "Technology for People Making a Difference."
