What GivingData is
GivingData is grants management software for foundations and the grantees they fund. It supports grant applications and reviews, request and payment management, and ongoing grantee relationships. Teams can collaborate with grantees in real time, track interactions and email conversations, and see a grantee’s history with the foundation. Application review tools include forms, in-form comments, imported application and report data, external reviewer assessments, scoring, and rubrics. Planning and reporting features include workflows, multi-year grant planning, budget dashboards, search, reporting, and data visualization. Plans are designed for different foundation needs: Go serves lean foundations, Pro adds tools such as scenario planning and workflows, and Enterprise adds portfolios, custom integrations, and multi-currency requests and payments. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan. The service runs on web and through an API. Open APIs for CRM, payments, and web publishing are available at the Enterprise tier, with limited documentation and permissions and no configuration or support for outside-built integrations. Subscription plans include support.
