## Reviews

### "Corporate Grant Making" — 5.0/5

> **Sabine** | *20 December 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The platform's comprehensive grant lifecycle management capabilities have transformed our operations. The automated workflow system handles everything from initial submissions to final impact reporting with efficiency. What stands out most is the platform's flexibility in accommodating different grant types - from small community grants to large multi-year funding programs. The built-in compliance tracking and reporting features have been invaluable for maintaining transparency and meeting regulatory requirements.
> 
> **Cons**: The depth of customization options, while beneficial, made the initial platform configuration more complex than expected. The CommunityForce's support team was highly responsive.
> 
> Our experience with CommunityForce has been great, despite the initial setup complexity. The platform has enabled us to streamline what was previously a cumbersome, paper-heavy process. We've been able to expand our corporate responsibility grant-making capacity significantly without adding administrative staff, thanks to the platform's robust automation capabilities.
The system really proves its worth during heavy application periods. It handles large volumes of submissions effortlessly, and the automated communication features keep applicants, reviewers, and internal stakeholders well-informed throughout the process.

### "Yes, this is the Grants Management platform you're looking for." — 4.0/5

> **Candace** | *19 November 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is so easy to use and most importantly it's easy for our applicants\! I have agencies tell me all the time how user-friendly it is and how much they love the progress dashboard. There's no way for them to miss anything.

That's the platform itself. The thing that makes CommunityForce different is the customer service.  They are great teachers, always ready to help, professional, and genuinely concerned about our grants.

If you asked my \[sensitive content hidden\] she would tell you that it's amazing value for money and the ROI is above what would be expected.
> 
> **Cons**: The reviewer scorecard for grants could use some tweaks to make it a little more intuitive, but all in all, it's a very good tool.
> 
> We use CommunityForce for grants to non-profits and we researched several platforms. As a United Way, cost is very important to us. They are technically competitive and their customer satisfaction goes above and beyond other companies that are far more expensive.

### "Works well for our applicants." — 4.0/5

> **Cindy** | *13 March 2025* | Gambling & Casinos | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our applicants find it very easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish it was easier to use for our non competitive grants. I want to use the same system for both.
> 
> We are are only able to utlize it for half our grants. I wish we could use it more. 

Our experience has been good. I do believe the Help Search needs to be broader.

### "United Way Grant Portal" — 5.0/5

> **Wendy** | *19 November 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The IT support is to tier. Anytime we have any issues they respond very quickly and supportive.
> 
> **Cons**: Our reviewers found the logic model difficult to read on their side. The applicants and admin found it useful.

-----

### "Grant Management Portal and Manager" — 4.0/5

> **Andy** | *07 January 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of having all of our grant applications in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: There is a learning curve and some of the features are not intuitive.
> 
> The organization has used the program for a number of years for all of our major grant applications. Coming in new to the team has posed some challenges to learn the ins and out. But we have made due and will get it to work.
