We had a single vision in mind when partnering with SmartSimple and designing Grant Toolbox

– a powerful grants management platform with full functionality and flexibility for evolving organisations and differing ranges of complexity. Grant Toolbox steps in with more than just the ability to provide online application forms. The platform that can track progress against outcomes, communicate via a customer relations management (CRM) module, allows organisations to log in and report, update their details, lodge their receipts or invoices efficiently online and much more.
