Enhancing the grant application experience for grantees and grantmakers alike with SmartSimple Cloud +AI

Grantmakers play a critical role in funding projects and initiatives that significantly impact their communities. However, creating equitable granting programs can be difficult given the possible disparities between potential grant applicants. Applicants without dedicated grant writers, those with limited resources, or those with varying writing and communications skills, may find it difficult to construct strong proposals. In some cases, an otherwise suitable applicant may be eliminated due to their inability to properly construct an application.
