Grants Management Software ≠ Greater Impact

That title might seem surprising coming from a grants management software company, but it’s a reality we face every day with our clients. There is no shortcut to achieving impact with your philanthropy programs. Simply buying a grants system to measure outcomes won’t get you to greater insight or greater impact. You need a plan and that’s not something you generally look to your software vendor to provide.

What We Do In Life Matters. So Does When We Do It.

Each year more than 20,000 young adults age out of foster care without being adopted. That means no one to celebrate high school graduation; no one to read the lease on their first apartment; no one to visit during the holidays.

When Cornell University competed in 2011 to develop an applied science and engineering campus in New York City, part of its pitch was that it would construct an academic building that would at least approach making as much energy as it used in a year, a concept known as net zero. It won. Then came the hard work of making that vision happen at the campus, known as Cornell Tech.
