Submittable

We use Submittable for online grant application review and processing and workflow automation. We used to have applicants fill out Application Forms in MS Word templates, circulate them to review committees via email and gather feedback and approvals by email. Submittable has allowed us to automate a variety of processes, including i) centralizing all application processing online in a single site using customizable logic-based form templates, ii) making it easier to manage workflows like assigning applications to review team members, recording interactions, and following up queries externally with applicants, as well as internally with review team members) communicating application decisions, and iv) managing additional or follow-up forms processing (e.g., collecting bank wire info for approved disbursements), etc. It also acts as a central repository for past/archived applications for easy reference or learning retention to help with new application decisions.

We use Submittable for all of our grants and scholarship needs each year. It has helped us shorten processes and track our applicants better. We process 300 applications a year and the program participants find it very user friendly. The customer support is also great for us and for the applicants.

We use it for multiple things: grant application submissions, our state film incentive applications, and reporting needs. There are multiple grants opportunities and it keeps track of them in different folders, so it's easy to keep up with what we have going on and how many people have jumped in.

We use Submittable for submission and review for our grant programs, board nominations and committee organization, as well as workshop volunteers. Submittable provides a very simple platform that's easy to use and navigate while providing security, flexibility and decent reporting features. Our previous vendor was stagnate and not flexible whatsoever.

Our Foundation uses Submittable to manage our grant administration processes for two external grant programs (and one internal program for our employees). Before using Submittable, our application process was manual, with a high administrative and IT support burden. Since making the switch to this platform, our efficiency has increased significantly.

We use Submittable to take applications for fellowships and programs. We also use it for processing forms, surveys, and other various RSVPs.

We use Submittable to manage grant applications, training applications, site visit reports, and final reports. Submittable gives us a central system for multiple reviewers to access, review and vote on applications. These are reviewers both within our organization and those from outside of our organization.

Submittable is a good basic grant application intake and processing tool. The forms builder is excellent and easy to use with drag and drop functionality. You first build your form and then a "project" that it will be part of. The forms support branching logic and you can customize the confirmation messages for different types of forms. Once you have an application submitted, you can reopen it for editing so that the applicant can make corrections. There is also a good messaging tool built into the submission review process that allows you to keep communications about a particular submission connected to that submission and not in a separate silo in Outlook. There are some good basic reporting and filtering tools too. Where Submittable comes up short is in acknowledging and fixing software bugs. The reflexive response from customer service seems to be that everything is fine, so you have to be persistent to get them to see why a malfunctioning date filter is a big problem when you need accurate data in your reports for payments or to analyze your data. New features roll out regularly but fixes for ongoing issues are much slower. Submittable is slowing becoming a better platform for foundations but new features (such as linking submissions to an agency UEI/EIN) don't apply to previously submitted forms and applications, so you will always have an incomplete picture of the relationship in Submittable. Advanced reporting looked promising but in actual use it's a kludge with data field labels that require so much manual work that it's usually just easier to download your data to Excel on work on it there. If you are a small foundation with a simple process flow that is just getting started with an online grant application system, Submittable could be a good starting point and is much better than just using Microsoft/Google Forms. You can upgrade to something more advanced and purpose built later if needed. We've outgrown Submittable and its limitations but it helped us clarify what we need in a grants management system.

My organization uses Submittable for grants and funding opportunities. We post between 4 and 6 funding opportunities each year, accept grant applications, and have panelists review applications to select our final roster of grantees. Applicants can fill out the grant questionnaire and submit corresponding documents. Additionally, we can communicate to applicants through the portal should information/documents be missing.

My organization uses Submittable to accept applications to competitive arts awards and grants. It helps us organize and adjudicate all applications (often hundreds per program). It also helps us communicate with applicants.

We use Submittable primarily for facilitating our grants management process and managing our calls for artist opportunities. This platform streamlines the submission and review processes, enabling us to efficiently handle a wide array of applications and submissions.

We use Submittable for scholarships, volunteer applications, and youth program planning. It supports scoring equitably and inclusively. It allows for collaboration when it comes to teams working with different teachers, school districts, and professionals. As for our scholarships, this is the first program that has met all our needs to ensure we are leading with equity and anti-bias.

I used Submittable to manage a portfolio of grant programs and projects that are used to fund innovative programming across Tennessee. These projects are focused on increasing student success and enhancing innovative practices in higher education. The projects have varying terms, objectives, scopes, and funding amounts. The Submittable platform allows for management, review, tracking, and archiving of these projects.

We use Submittable to run our sub-grants program, all the way from eligibility screenings and applications to quarterly and final progress reports. The submittable platform allows us to keep all grantee information in one place while being able to assign scoring sheets to our board members. Submittable will enable us to determine what projects we would like to fund based on their alignment with our organization's mission and vision and oversee the progress of those projects.

We run many scholarship and prize applications. Submittable allows us to collect responses all in one place to be reviewed. At any given time we're managing 10+ applications and this platform helps to make sure that we don't drop any entries or make over sighted mistakes. It's nice to allow users to upload documents here instead of copying into an email as sometimes used to happen.

We use Submittable to run multiple grant programs that range significantly in size and application pool. We don't know of another platform out there that creates great online applications and then application review and scoring mechanisms that are also easily assigned to other partners/reviewers. Not only is it an efficient way to handle applications, it's secure -- since we ask for financial data with some programs, and there are also lots of reporting options with the platform that serve us well, especially for reporting to our funders.

Submittable was purchased to help our office streamline the way internship and fellowship applications are promoted, received, and reviewed. At the time of purchase, our office administered 50+ different opportunities annually and the process was managed manually. We were a small team - 3 people - with one person assigned to manage the applications (we received approx 1500-3000 applications annually with 75-100 reviewers across the 50 applications).

We use Submittable to run grant projects with funding provided by our corporate sponsors. We needed a platform to distribute over $2m in funds in 2021, and Submittable was secure, organized, and easy to use for our needs. We wanted to have reviews be fair and impartial by concealing specific applicant information and having applicants submit forms to submittable instead of emailing our team repeatedly helped us orchestrate the grants seamlessly.

We use Submittable to facilitate our scholarship application for the Bob and Marion Wilson Teacher Institute. Submittable allows us to collect applications, have them reviewed by both volunteers and staff, and notify the applicants all in one system. In addition to the application process, we are able to use Submittable to host our donor stewardship form where teachers can upload comments and thank you notes. Using Submittable for this process has saved our interns hours of typing up hand written comments from teachers.

We use Submittable for grant management, including the application portal, review process, and quarterly reports. Submittable makes it incredibly easy to access all of our grantees, review the applications accurately with a custom rubric, and send messages to everyone.

Submittable helps us to receive, organize and review requests for grants to other non-profit organizations. We typically receive between one and two influxes of submissions each year. We have an advisory board who are geographically spread out across 4 time zones, who all use Submittable to conduct their reviews. We probably have reviewed close to 1,000 submissions through Submittable.

Our organization uses Submittable as the primary submission portal for grant applications, reviews, award notifications, and reporting. Our company runs over 30 different grant programs/cycles a year.

Submittable has been critical to our efficacy and communication with our scholars and their schools. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Submittable in helping us generate forms and implement what we need from the service. The staff and team and Submittable have been incredibly helpful and flexible with us and they have been great for us. The data we are now capturing is excellent and very helpful for all levels of the organization.

Our organization uses Submittable to manage our annual grant application, grant reviewing, awarding and reporting processes. It is solely used within our granting department, and it wonderfully accomplishes the task of keeping all of our grant work, applications, documentation, etc. for the grant cycle in one location, and all inter-connected!

Our organization used Submittable for an artist residency and regranting applications, as well as open calls for artist opportunities.
