Grant management has always been a crucial procedure for most companies. Grant seekers’ software functions may include grant discovery, compliance with regulations and submission of proposals, administrative reporting, budget planning, peer collaboration, and project tracking. Grantmakers’ software functions can include receipt, monitoring fund disbursement, collaboration with grant recipients, and prioritization of grant applications. In both cases, the software helps researchers, grant managers, principal investigators, and other individuals ease administrative burdens associated with grants. Most of the grant management solutions are available as a hosted service. Customers pay suppliers for online access to the software under this model. One of the advantages of hosted software is that clients often need little or no internal IT support.

In addition, the NPOs in developed countries are increasingly adopting automated and digitalized tools to streamline their various processes, including grant applications. Such factors are propelling the demand for grant management software in the nonprofit organizations.
