Fluxx Grantmaker vs. Grantcycle

• Highly configurable for different use cases and easy to customize.
• Instant insight into different job functions can be provided through the unique, customized filtered cards and dashboards for each user.
• Frequent updates of new features that add more value to the product over time and create more efficiencies for staff and grantees.
• Collaborative user base that is eager and willing to share best practices with lots of support from the vendor.
• Friendly staff that is genuinely interested in the funding and nonprofit sectors and how they can make it easier for us to have the community impact we are all trying to achieve.

• I would love to see either email or text notifications added to the platforms to remind of upcoming deadlines and tasks.
• Sometimes the data that is pulled into the visuals is not accurate and is a bit glitchy.
• Adding a real time commenting capability, like Slack, would help the team to stay in contact. This is especially important for remote grantwriters, like me.
