Go paperless and streamline your grantmaking to take it to a new level of efficiency with IGAM, a web-based solution that allows you to accept online applications and requirements reports. Enhanced communication features provide grantees with online access to request status and requirements due dates and forms. IGAM enables you to move from an extensive paper-based process to an efficient and more strategically focused online process that automates key steps and provides consistency for grantees. IGAM seamlessly integrates with GIFTS 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. Forms can be customized for each program’s unique needs. Returning applicants can populate forms with data from a previous submission. An optional password-protection feature for applications provides increased security.

Prescreen applicants to improve quality of submissions
An optional eligibility quiz lets you prescreen applicants, so you only accept proposals that meet your program guidelines.

Accept one or two-stage grant applications
Receive initial inquiry-level applications as well as full grant proposals via the web.

Automatically verify tax ID number and seamlessly bring data into GIFTS
Instantly verify an organization’s tax identification information against the IRS and Canada Revenue Agency databases. If a match is found, that data can be seamlessly populated into GIFTS, saving even more time.

Collect grantee requirements online
Grantees can access requirement schedules with due dates online. Reports are seamlessly collected and imported into GIFTS, providing better outcome data for improved program evaluation.

Empower grantees with enhanced communication features
Grantees have easy, 24/7 access to their applications and reports via a password protected My Account webpage. Rather than calling your organization for updates, grantees can also view their request status and requirement schedule with due dates online.

Manage grantee contacts
Applicants can provide a separate primary contact for each request, as well as the organization. You can capture more complete information by creating required contact fields.

Easily search for relevant applications
Search capabilities allow staff to search across application codes so they are only viewing applications that are relevant to them.

Review reports on eligibility quizzes
Learn how questions are being answered to improve your screening process.

Transfer data easily into GIFTS
View and qualify applications in a staging area before deciding whether to bring them into GIFTS. All proposal information, file attachments, and requirements are easily transferred into GIFTS with automatic checking for duplicate records.

If it’s in GIFTS, you can include it on your forms
Fields, code tables, and code values in GIFTS can be included on your online forms. You can pre-code request information by specifying default values for form fields. When the application is brought into GIFTS, it is already coded appropriately.

Require attachments for online submissions
Save time and effort from following up with applicants who forget to include the documentation necessary for a complete application.

Customize display language
Applicant-facing text, including instructions, buttons and labels, can be customized. Text can even be translated for non-English speaking applicants. Forms can coordinate with the look and feel of your organization’s image or website using your colors, field names, logo, or other branding elements.

Leverage a secure, hosted service
A comprehensive service hosts your application forms, attachments, and requirement reports 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.
