Foundant Technologies was formed for the sole purpose of simplifying life for the grant giving community. The company's Grant Lifecycle Managertm 1.0 (GLM) is the inaugural release of an easy to use solution that makes the daily management of a grant giving foundation easier and more rewarding. The solution was designed around an existing application used by one of our founders to manage a family foundation. It significantly reduced the amount of time required for foundation management and created a consistent, standard process for all future foundation activities. By customizing the GLM to automate your processes and meet your needs, you will be able to focus on the most important aspect of running your foundation - helping grantees to do more good.

4. Enables the automatic request of grant reports and documentation from grantees to ensure that funds are being utilized as expected
5. Application includes tools to help Foundations efficiently weed out incompatible funding requests before the formal grant application process - saving time and effort
