Recently, a local nonprofit reached out to us with a question: What grant tracking software should we be using?

We turned to our network of local nonprofit leaders to gather insights. Interestingly, while many organizations are actively searching for better systems, there wasn’t a clear consensus or go-to platform emerging locally. That’s not unusual. Grant management tools vary widely in cost, features, and complexity, and what works for one organization doesn’t always work for another.

One of our generous Spokes faculty volunteers stepped in to share a helpful resource that offers a strong starting point for exploration: WildApricot’s article, “12 Best Grant Management Software for Nonprofits.” The piece provides an overview of several platforms nonprofits are using to track deadlines, manage funder relationships, store proposal materials, and run reports—all in one place.

Whether your organization is just beginning to apply for grants or managing a growing portfolio of funding opportunities, having a centralized system can make a big difference in staying organized and strengthening your grant strategy over time.

We’re sharing this resource in case it’s helpful for your team as well.

As always, if your organization has experience with a particular platform you love (or one you don’t!), we’d be glad to hear about it. We’re always gathering feedback and insights to help connect nonprofits with tools and practices that support their work.
