Step 1 of 6: Design applications
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
They told us to lead with our features. And we could. It would be easy to tell you how DecisionHub can handle your entire grant program from end to end with all sorts of features and workflows.
But none of that matters if we don’t make your work easier. Most software is built for the people who buy it, not the people who use it every day. So we listened to grant-makers like you. We volunteered on review committees. We spoke to applicants. And here’s what we heard…
- Software should be simple. It shouldn’t require training sessions or sales calls to explain hundreds of features and complex workflows that have been bolted on, piecemeal, over decades.
- Software should be affordable. Every dollar spent on overpriced software is one less dollar for you to invest in your community. Your hard-earned dollars shouldn’t be padding the profits of venture capitalists and investors who have never written, received, or reviewed a grant application.
- Software should improve your life. It should be almost invisible, just running in the background, like a sidekick who’s got you covered every time you need to process information, or track a response, or assign reviews or make a decision or award a grant. Because we believe grantmakers deserve nice things.
So that’s what we built.
- The price is the price.: Transparent pricing and features so you can make decisions without the sales calls and negotiations.
- Everyone’s invited.: Unlimited users, reviewers, and applications on every plan. Do what you need and stop counting.
- No setup fee. No support bill. Ever.: Onboarding is included. Help is included. You pay for the software, and that’s it.
- Your data stays home.: Hosted in Canada, supported from Canada. Your applicants’ personal info never leaves the country.
- Drop in your form. Watch it come alive.: Upload the application document you already use. 20 seconds later it’s a working online form.
- Say goodbye to the scoring spreadsheet.: Every score is collected, totalled and averaged for you. The master spreadsheet can retire.
- One screen. Every decision.: Your budget, rankings and recommendations all in one place. The meetings practically run themselves.
- Your data is yours. Period.: Export everything, any time, in formats you already use.
- See it before you buy it.: Send us your application form. We’ll show you your own program running in DecisionHub.
- No surprises next year.: Control your costs and lock in friendly renewal pricing terms.
- Applying should feel easy. Now it is.: Save and come back later, upload any file, get a confirmation instantly. Your applicants will thank you.
- Judge the work, not the name.: Hide personal and demographic details from reviewers with one setting. Privacy and fairness built in.
- Stop chasing reviewers.: See who’s done and who isn’t, and send a nudge. Assign a whole committee in one click.
- Grant writing is a team sport.: Multiple people from an organization can work on one application at the same time.
- Council/board reports in 10 minutes.: Use custom board/council pack templates to create reports the way your board/council wants them.
- Next year takes five minutes.: Copy last year’s program and open it again. Run all your programs side by side.
- Security your IT can support.: Encrypted everywhere, hosted in Canada and clear documentation for your privacy office.
- Canadian. Through and through.: Built in Calgary. Hosted in Canada. Priced in Canadian dollars.
- Call Calgary, not a call centre.: Talk to our Calgary-based developers and grantmaking experts directly. No requests stuck in bureaucracy.
- Dynamic forms with skip logic.: Conditional logic shows applicants only the questions that apply to them. Shorter forms, better answers.
- Weighted criteria.: Not all criteria have the same importance. Make sure your final scores reflect this.
- Deadlines keep themselves.: Set the open and close dates once. The form opens on time, closes on time, and late arrivals stay out.
- One home for every applicant.: Applicants see their drafts and submissions in their own workspace. Fewer “did you get this?” emails.
- Ranked before the meeting starts.: Scores averaged and ranked automatically. Walk into the room knowing where every application stands.
- Status at a glance.: Every application’s status and every reviewer’s progress in one table. Stop sending status emails.
- One message. Every applicant.: Send personalized emails to a whole list in one go, from templates you write once.
- Every application, ready to print.: One-click download of applications, reviews and results in PDF or CSV.
- Reviewers need no training.: The application and the scorecard, side by side. Read, score, comment, done.
- Clean data from the first keystroke.: Budget, contact, address and table fields check themselves as applicants type. Fewer follow-up emails.
- Comments that stay with the file.: Reviewer notes sit beside their scores, ready for the committee to read.
- Every decision in one place.: Applications, scores and decisions live together. Answer “why did this one get funded?” in seconds.
- Know every applicant.: Organizations and contact info saved across every funding cycle, so year two starts where year one ended.
- Draw the funding line.: Tally the recommended funding by pulling the payline down your list until the envelope is spent.
“One of the advantages of working with a smaller developer is the connection, and the time it takes to hear back.”
