Grant Management Problems Submit.com is Built to Solve

Most organisations managing grants face the same recurring problems: manual admin that eats into staff time, compliance requirements that create anxiety, and systems that were never built for the complexity of modern funding programmes. Submit.com grant management software addresses each one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is grant management software?

Grant management software runs a grant programme from application to final report: online application forms, eligibility checks, reviewer assessment, decisions, payments and post-award reporting. Submit.com grant management software does this in one platform, with audit trails behind each decision.

Can we manage multiple grant programmes with different workflows?

Yes. Each programme has its own form, eligibility rules, review stages, scoring criteria and budget, and reporting can cover one programme or all of them.

How quickly can we launch our first grant programme?

A single programme can often launch within weeks. Developing Healthy Communities opened its fund eight weeks after choosing Submit.com. Larger rollouts with data migration and integrations take longer.

Is Submit.com suitable for large-scale government programmes?

Yes. Cork City Council’s online applications grew from around 1,000 in 2019 to 22,000 in 2020 as processes moved to Submit.com, and Submit.com is listed as an HM Government G-Cloud supplier.

How does Submit.com support fair and transparent grant allocation?

Reviewers score against the same weighted criteria and can be required to explain each score, applicant names can be hidden from reviewers, external reviewers see only their own scores, and audit trails record activity on reviews and decisions.

Can Submit.com track payments and drawdowns?

Yes. Grant tracking records the amount awarded to each application and each staged drawdown against a budget, and fees can be collected through Stripe.

Does Submit.com integrate with our other systems?

Submit.com offers an API and CSV exports for finance, customer relationship management and reporting systems, Stripe for payments, and sign-in with existing accounts, including single sign-on for enterprise customers.
