Responsive Customer Service

Our highest priority is ensuring that your staff, your reviewers, and your applicants have the best application experience ever. We can’t guarantee that everyone will receive funding, but the ZoomGrants™ system makes the application process easier for all, allowing the focus to be on the content, not the system.

Simple Pricing

ZoomGrants™ uses a yearly subscription and per-program pricing to keep our prices low for our clients. For more information or to see how much your programs would cost, visit our Pricing and Savings Calculator.

“ZoomGrants is the only service I’ve found that is built for the public sector by people who have worked in the public sector. The setup and application processes are very intuitive, and even my nonprofits who aren’t tech-savvy liked it so much that they are now asking to use it for invoicing and reporting.”

Sarah B., Housing Program Manager, City of Elk Grove, California

“ZoomGrants is an excellent program. Most times when a new program is introduced, and mandated, the process is stressful and painful. ZoomGrants actually made the grant writing and submission easier than past years. I had two questions for technical support and I was amazed to receive a reply within a half hour. Great program supported by a great team of people. Thank you Zoomgrants.”

Guy D., Business Manager, New Jersey

“This system was easy to use. I liked that it told me how many characters I had left. I liked that it printed out the full screen.”

Diane S., Division Director Colorado

“Auto save! Easy to use and navigate. I’ve used many grant app programs and this by far is the best!”

Shelley D., Manager, California

“Painless & seamless process! I was impressed with the overall ease of the application process and how it automatically saved which allowed me to focus on the content and not the computer part of the application.”

Jennifer M., Operating Systems Officer, Ohio

“I found the system very easy to use and a big improvement over running down to Kinko’s to make copies, etc. Hopefully your system will catch on with other funders as well.”

Gary T., Executive Director, Colorado

“This made the grant writing process very easy. The form was clear and easy to fill out. The process for downloading documents worked well. The print function allowed me to save a hard copy for my records. I would recommend this to any grantmaker.”

Susan A., Executive Director, Washington

“Thanks so much. This is certainly a level of customer service to which I am unaccustomed!”

Mary C., Manager of Programs and Grants, New Jersey

“This is the second time I’ve used ZoomGrants. Online grants are definitely a way of the future, and I think grant writers would appreciate it if more grantmakers would make use of this process.”

Gayle T., Grants Chairman, Arizona
