“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

“Talk about customer service! I wish more people were such a professional pleasure to work with…I will rest easy now and hope to hear some good news soon!”

Jennifer S., Donations Coordinator, Arizona

“Your product is very impressive and well executed.”

Angela J., Treasurer, Chief of Staff, 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

“ZoomGrants is by far the easiest grant submission system that I have seen. Even someone with no experience in grant submissions can do this.”

AnnaMarie J., Grants Chairman, ArizonaExecutive Director, Nevada

“ZoomGrants was particularly easy to use. The directions were clear, the site was easy to navigate and uploading documents was simple.”

Susan D., Grants Manager, Arizona

“ZoomGrants is an applicant’s dream come true! Easy to navigate. Easy to update. Easy to upload. Now if it could just guarantee that my application would be approved and funded…!”
