The Most Recommended Online Grants Management System to Source Reviews from Top Charity Review Site

REDWOOD CITY, CA, April 2, 2014 – Foundant Technologies, provider of the most recommended online grants management system, Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM), and GreatNonprofits, the largest social review site for charities, announced a partnership today to share data across their platforms.

“Foundant Technologies believes in transparency and listening. We practice this every day with our clients. Now we’re excited to bring a new level of transparency through third party feedback from GreatNonprofits,” says Daren Nordhagen, President of Foundant Technologies. “GreatNonprofits takes a uniquely social approach to how charities are evaluated, getting crowd sourced reviews similar to the ones used on sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor to help their users choose nonprofits.”

This partnership takes advantage of GreatNonprofits’ bi-directional API to integrate GreatNonprofits’ social review data into Foundant’s online grants management solution, GLM. GreatNonprofits’ data set currently consists of over 200,000 user-generated reviews on more than 20,000 nonprofits, making it the largest crowd sourced review site specifically for nonprofits.

“Foundant has won the respect of over 600 grant making organizations, including family, private, and community foundations. We are thrilled that our reviews are able to reach their clients and influence their charitable giving decisions,” said Perla Ni, Founder and CEO of GreatNonprofits. “Foundant has shown us that they are truly committed to incorporating user reviews and crowd sourced information about nonprofit organizations into their product lines.

In addition to having access to data for decision-making purposes, Foundant’s users will also have an opportunity to add their own reviews to the database. The end result is a 360 degree feedback system. The full implementation of GreatNonprofits’ data in Foundant’s software suite is planned to be completed in April 2014.
