Grantledger vs GrantSolutions

Grantledger is hosted grant-management software for trusts, foundations, councils, corporate funders, community foundations, and charities. It covers applications, due diligence, assessment, decisions, awards, payments, reporting, publishing, and audit records. Applicants use a branded public form to check eligibility, view criteria, save drafts, and submit without an account or fee. Optional AI can summarise applications, draft reviewer feedback, flag duplicates or risks, and answer questions about a round; human panels retain funding decisions and their rationale. Grantledger records payment approvals, instructions, and confirmations, reconciles them against bank CSV exports, and does not hold credentials that could move money. Finance exports use CSV or JSON, with signed webhooks, API access, national register checks, and 360Giving publishing connections. Register checks cover the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Sensitive events enter a per-funder SHA-256 hash chain verifiable in the console. PostgreSQL row-level security with FORCE isolates funders, while applicant text passes through a PII firewall before AI processing and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Pricing and plan terms are agreed with each funder; a demo-led proof-of-fit is offered.

GrantSolutions is a cloud-based grants management service for Federal agencies, covering work from pre-award planning through post-award oversight. Its service areas include program management, pre-award management, award management, and post-award management. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services owns and operates it. Partnerships are available only to Federal agencies; grant recipients use the service through their funding agency and cannot purchase it. GrantSolutions does not process new grant applications and directs funding seekers to Grants.gov. Agency capabilities include application intake, review workflows, award management, a full grantee portal, and reporting and compliance. Risk tools use real-time analytics and machine learning to provide actionable insights intended to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse. A Financial System Interface connects agency financial systems for compliance checks and reporting. GrantSolutions manages Federal security and compliance standards on agencies’ behalf. Onboarding includes planning, requirements review, configuration, data migration, user acceptance testing, training, and go-live, followed by operational and maintenance support.
