Award Management platform built to Discover, Raise, Run and Prove.
Award Management platform built to
DiscoverRaiseRunProve
We implement and run the CommunityForce (opens in a new tab) Awards Management Platform as a managed service, so universities, non-profits and foundations can Discover, Raise, Run and Prove every scholarship and grant dollar.
Scholarship and grant programs run on spreadsheets, inboxes and good intentions, and the outcomes are hard to prove.
Universities, non-profits and foundations are under pressure to find new funding, steward the donors who give it, run fair and efficient application cycles, and show exactly what every scholarship and grant dollar achieved. Most teams do this across disconnected systems with limited staff, so funding is missed, applicants wait, and impact is hard to prove.
Common Pain Points
Discover: staff spend hours searching for funders and grant opportunities, with no clear view of which ones actually fit the mission.
Raise: donor and alumni records, campaigns and grant deadlines live in separate tools, so gifts and awards are hard to track against the funds they support.
Run: applications, recommendations and reviewer scores are collected by email and spreadsheet, slowing decisions and creating duplicate awards.
Prove: boards, donors and funders ask what their money achieved, and the answer takes weeks of manual reporting.
