GivingData 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

GivingData has become a trusted source of grant information in departments across the Foundation. We've replaced countless shadow spreadsheets, streamlined meeting materials, and cut down on all the data discrepancies those shadow spreadsheets create. We've moved our application process online and begun to expand grant monitoring for learning purposes (less emphasis on the "audit" role of reporting). We've also connected systems through APIs with both our website (to report grant data seamlessly) and Salesforce, which has bridged disparate data sets. We are currently in the process of sunsetting another stand-alone database; work that would not have been possible prior to our migration to GivingData. Finally, we benefit from the implementation, project management, and general philanthropic expertise of the GivingData staff. More than functionality, large scale data migrations and databases require adept change management skills. GivingData staff have them, and also help structure projects and engagements so that foundation staff can build or improve their own change management skills. We've continued to feel that support two years after our initial migration. Their annual client convening also offers incredible professional development opportunities beyond "how to use GivingData." The company seeks to help clients think about ways to further leverage the software in their work, but also how to learn skills that their daily jobs might not build. This probably sounds overly positive, but truly our experience has been so positive.

r overall experience with GivingData has been excellent. The platform is user-friendly, adaptable to our needs, and has made managing grants much more efficient. The support team is responsive and genuinely helpful, which makes using the system even better. We highly recommend it to any organization looking to simplify and improve their grantmaking process.

It has been fairly positive. I have been using it for 4 years and there have only been a few complaints/displeasures. But as it has developed over the years, the product is overall improving.

Excellent. Shout out to Mya who is awesome!

We transitioned to Giving Data's Grants Management System during COVID. Their team was invaluable in guiding the system design and implementation remotely. We have continued to explore the system's functionality as they add enhancements and new features.

My overall experience with GivingData has been excellent. In particular, the customer services team is extremely responsive and I appreciate the robust user community they are cultivating.

Very helpful and efficient implementation experience. Understanding and supportive of our need to implement two grant programs in a short period of time as part of our implementation. Highly recommended to my Australian grant-making colleagues

The staff at Giving Data are extremely responsive and attentive to trends in the ecosystem. Our Foundation made the switch to this platform around 2021 and our grantmaking experience is the better for it!

I am coming up on my one-year mark. My overall experience has been great. Everyone I talk to is professional, yet I feel like they are my friend.

Given the product is used by various organizations, the out of the box product does require some customization depending on use.
