Build the grantmaking features your programs actually need

With WeWeb AI, design application portals, reviewer workflows, and reporting dashboards that match your foundation's processes.

Online application portal

Create customized application forms for each grant program. Support multi-step applications with document uploads, budget templates, and conditional questions. Let applicants save drafts and track submission status through their own portal.

Reviewer assignment and scoring

Assign applications to reviewers based on expertise or geography. Build custom scoring rubrics and evaluation forms. Aggregate scores automatically and flag discrepancies. Keep reviewer identities confidential or enable panel discussions.

Grant lifecycle management

Track every grant from initial inquiry through closeout. Define custom stages that match your process (LOI, full proposal, due diligence, board approval, contracting, active, reporting, closed). Move grants through stages with required approvals and documentation.

Payments tracking

Set up payment schedules tied to milestones or dates. Track disbursements against approved budgets. Generate payment requests for finance approval. Log payment history and remaining balances for each grant.

Grantee management

Build online forms for progress reports and financial reports. Send automatic reminders before deadlines. Store all grant documents (applications, agreements, reports, correspondence) linked to the grant record with version history.

Budget & cost tracking

Track budgets by line item and category. Calculate indirect costs based on your policies. Compare approved vs. actual spending. Flag budget modifications that require approval. Roll up spending across programs or portfolios.

Portfolio reporting

Build dashboards that show your grantmaking at a glance: pipeline by stage, dollars committed vs. disbursed, geographic distribution, and program area breakdowns. Track outcomes and impact metrics across your portfolio.

Compliance workflows

Log every action with timestamps and user attribution. Build approval workflows that enforce your policies. Create compliance checklists for grant closeout. Generate audit-ready reports showing full grant history and decision documentation.

FAQs

Why build custom grant management software instead of buying an off-the-shelf solution?

Off-the-shelf grant management systems work for standard grantmaking operations, but they create friction in three common scenarios:

Pricing that scales with your team. Enterprise grant management platforms like Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud charge $175-225 per user per month. For a foundation with 30 staff members accessing the system (program officers, finance, leadership, reviewers), that's $63,000-81,000 annually before implementation costs. WeWeb doesn't charge per user, so your entire team can access the system without per-seat fees eating into your program budget.

Workflows that don't match your grantmaking process. Every foundation has unique intake requirements, review criteria, and reporting cycles. Off-the-shelf tools force you into predefined stages that may not reflect how your programs actually work. When your LOI process, review committee structure, or payment schedules don't fit their model, you end up with workarounds and shadow spreadsheets. A custom system mirrors your actual grantmaking from the start.

Integration with your existing systems. Your grants connect to accounting software, donor management, and board reporting. Off-the-shelf tools offer specific integrations, but if your stack isn't supported (or requires deeper data sync), you're stuck with manual data entry. With WeWeb, you connect directly to any API or database your organization uses.

Do I need coding experience to build a grant management system?

No. WeWeb is a visual development platform. You build by dragging components, configuring data connections, and setting up workflows through a point-and-click interface.

WeWeb AI accelerates the process further. Describe what you need ("a grant management system with online applications, reviewer scoring, and payment tracking") and AI generates the foundation: pages, database schema, forms, and workflows. From there, you refine visually.

That said, WeWeb doesn't limit you if you do have technical skills. You can:

Write custom JavaScript for complex eligibility calculations or scoring formulas
Build custom Vue.js components for specialized grant reporting
Use formulas for budget calculations and indirect cost allocations
Connect to any REST API or GraphQL endpoint (accounting, CRM, document storage)

The platform scales with your team's capabilities. Start with no-code, add complexity as needed.

Can external applicants and reviewers access the system securely?

Yes. WeWeb supports multiple authentication methods so you can give different user types appropriate access:

For applicants: Create a public-facing application portal where grantees register, submit proposals, upload documents, and track their application status. Use email verification, password authentication, or SSO depending on your requirements.

For reviewers: Build a separate reviewer portal with access only to assigned applications. Reviewers see scoring forms, application materials, and their review history without accessing sensitive organizational data or other reviewers' scores (until you want them to).

For staff: Role-based permissions let you control who can view applications, approve payments, edit grant records, or access reporting dashboards. Program officers see their portfolios while finance staff see payment queues.

Because WeWeb connects to your own backend and authentication provider, you maintain full control over user data and access policies. No data is stored in WeWeb's systems unless you choose to host it there.

How do I handle grant reporting and compliance tracking?

WeWeb lets you build reporting workflows that match your compliance requirements exactly:

Grantee reporting. Create online forms for progress reports, financial reports, and final reports. Set up automatic reminders before deadlines. Track which reports are submitted, pending review, or overdue. Store all documents in one place linked to the grant record.

Internal compliance. Build approval workflows that enforce your policies. Require multiple sign-offs for payments over certain thresholds. Log every action with timestamps for audit trails. Create checklists that must be completed before grants can close.

Board and funder reporting. Design dashboards that show portfolio performance, geographic distribution, and outcome metrics. Export data for board packets or funder reports. Schedule automated report generation.

The advantage of building custom is that you define what compliance means for your organization. Track the metrics that matter to your board and funders, not generic fields that don't apply to your programs.
