Streamline your grantmaking and take it to a new level of efficiency with IGAM, a powerful solution that lets you create and accept online grant applications. IGAM supports a more strategically focused online process that automates key steps and provides consistency for grantees. IGAM seamlessly integrates with FoundationPower to dramatically reduce manual data entry and simplify administrative tasks, allowing you to focus on your grantmaking strategy.

With IGAM you can:

  • Accept online applications, easily and securely
    Post your applications publicly on your website, or invite potential grantees to complete an application via a simple link to the form. Choose a one or two-stage application process to support your organization's processes.
  • Provide an enhanced applicant experience
    Applicants are instantly notified of successful application submission via an automated email confirmation. Returning applicants can populate forms with contact information from a previous submission. Email-friendly versions of proposals allow applicants to obtain valuable feedback from their peers and colleagues prior to submission.
  • Customize forms with flexible options
    Forms can be created for each program’s unique needs. Include fields from the FoundationPower database to collect virtually any type of information needed to support your practices. Customize form text, buttons, and labels to guide applicants through the process. Easily design forms to maintain consistent branding for your organization, donors and funds.
  • Save time by pre-coding request information on your forms
    Specify default values on form fields, such as program area codes. When the application is brought into FoundationPower, it is already coded properly, without having to manually code each application.
  • Transfer data seamlessly into FoundationPower
    View and qualify applications in a staging area before deciding whether to bring them into FoundationPower. All proposal information and file attachments are easily transferred into your database, eliminating redundant and/or incorrect data entry. Applicant profiles are automatically checked for duplicate records in FoundationPower.
  • Require attachments for online submissions
    Ensure applicants include necessary documentation by requiring attachments, saving you time and effort from following up on incomplete applications.
  • Prescreen applicants to reduce ineligible submissions
    An optional eligibility quiz lets you prescreen applicants, so you only accept proposals that meet your program guidelines. Reports on eligibility quizzes provide insight as to how questions are being answered to improve your screening process.
  • Automatically verify tax ID number
    Instantly verify an organization's U.S. tax identification information against the IRS database. If a match is found, that data is populated into FoundationPower.
  • Leverage a secure, hosted service
    A comprehensive service hosts your application forms on the web and provides a holding area for completed and in-process applications. It’s easy, secure, and provides 24/7 continuous operation and monitoring.
