Great price!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 2, 2025 Ive been using it since it started. I was an original tester and it does exactly what I need at a great price point. Pros It's so easy. I love the reports. I live being able to downliad what I need. I love seeing my deadlines. It's just perfect for all of my tracking and reporting needs. Cons They are still updating, adding new features and improving and sometimes it takes a little longer to load. Luckily, it's resolved quickly. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Director of Development Religious Institutions ### "Grant Administration Solution that Hits the Target!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 April 1, 2025 We are currently managing a portfolio of less than 25 active grants and typically no more than two are in the application stage at a time. There are only two staff members working with our portfolio and a new user can be up and running in less than an hour. This is a necessary tool for being “grant ready!” If you are working in an NPO and even thinking about writing your first grant, this is a necessary software purchase. You will recover the cost on your first award! Pros Grant Holster provides an extremely cost effective and versatile solution to grant administration. This cloud-based software is especially effective for smaller NPO’s with limited grant writing and development staff who need a user friendly, turnkey database as an alternative to non-integrated excel spreadsheets. The software was developed by an experienced grant professional who understands the value of time management, centralized record keeping, and project management. Another huge plus is the principal architect for Grant Holster also provides direct assistance with support. If you run into an unusual issue or have a unique idea, you have the opportunity to communicate directly with someone who can provide you with ideas and best practices to deploy the solution. I would highly recommend this software to EVERY 501(c) who has ever considered working with the development of public or private grants. The data workflow is both intuitive and logical - and the dashboard is easy to navigate. Cons The platform is focused on Grant Writing and Grant Administration (Monitoring and Evaluation). If you are looking for more advanced features, you will need to explore much more expensive platforms and solutions. Alternatives considered [DonorPerfect](https://www.capterra.com/p/2698/DonorPerfect-Fundraising-Software/) Reasons for choosing Grant Holster Ease of integration, learning curve, and cost effectiveness for a smaller portfolio.

NS Nikki S. Owner/Consultant Non-Profit Organization Management ### "No more spreadsheets! " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 18, 2022 Pros Implementing Grant Holster at my previous organization reduced the number of tracking documents we had for grant management from about 5 to 1. When I started my own business, I knew that this would be a product that would help me tremendously in managing multiple clients and multiple projects for each client. Cons Some of the data pieces have to be manually linked to each account and/or project, such as contacts. The system tracks a great deal of data, but if the points were able to be linked more easily then it would enhance functionality and ease of use. Alternatives considered [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Reasons for choosing Grant Holster More specific to grant tracking versus overall project management.

NW Nikki W. director of operations Management Consulting ### "I use this daily" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 25, 2022 I am able to manage my time and projects and get an overall view of what I need to focus on each day. Pros It keeps me organized. I love the deadlines feature and having the ability to sort. I am able to stay on track using actions and able to see my progress and successes. Cons None of it is difficult. Some things may be a little time consuming to initially set up, but once it's in there it is easy to renew and track for the next year. Reasons for choosing Grant Holster Easy to use and stores all of my information.

President, CEO - Co-Founder Consumer Services ### "Great Resource! " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 December 17, 2021 Pros The Vault is amazing! I like that this is a program designed with grant writers and their teams in mind. Cons To be a bit more client-centric with some features. Seems like a lot of data entry.

The Vault is one of our favorite features too. We know from experience that there can be a lot of data entry to get started, but we are currently working on a way to upload your data to Grant Holster! Thank you for trying Grant Holster! Jodi K. Freelance Grant Writer Writing and Editing ### "Boost Efficiency & Sanity with Grant Holster! " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 16, 2021 Pros In the grant world, tracking deadlines and tasks is daunting. Some days, it's almost more difficult than putting together the proposal itself! Grant Holster takes the stress out of grant seeking. As a freelance grant writer, I'm able to depend on Grant Holster to manage not just deadlines, but all of the other pieces of grant seeking: tracking reports, pending requests, documenting conversations with funders, and storing completed proposals and grant documents. An added bonus? Grant Holster is home to a Vault to host organization information such as details on staff and volunteers, board members, budgets, organization documents, and program details. Cons I love Grant Holster! It's important to remember, like any good software, you have to use it to be effective. If you don't track due dates and grant tasks, they won't show up on your "to do" list. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor December 20, 2021 Hi Jodi! Thank you so much for your review. We love the Review Title! We are happy to hear that Grant Holster is working so well for you! DS Dana S. Consultant Fund-Raising ### "Grant Holster has walked in my shoes!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 16, 2021 My experience is that Grant Holster is very open and honest about what they are able to do - their main goal is to make life better for grant seekers. It shows in everything they do! When I was looking at software to help me, I looked at lots of different options. Grant Holster was the only one that didn't make me jump through hoops to get information. They gave me a comparison chart with other available software so I could make an informed decision. Total respect for that. Pros They advertise that this was developed by grant professionals FOR grant professionals - boy, that's true!!! No other software "knows" the information I need every day. The reports are perfect - they have saved me days of work. The price is pretty painless - started at a lower tier and then increased as my needs increased. They have a one month free trial, so I had time to really play around with it. Also, when I needed help - they responded immediately and were so friendly and caring. The website and Facebook pages have lots of tools and tips for grant writers. Cons It is still a new application -- they are still working on making improvements. Considering the low price, though, this is not a big deal at all. The staff keep us informed about new features and get our feedback on what would help us more. Switched from [Smartsheet](https://www.capterra.com/p/79104/Smartsheet/) Grant Holster was designed for grant professionals by grants professionals and was the lowest cost.

Pros I liked that it was super easy to use, almost intuitive. I could read the tutorials and just start using it.
