Our verdict on Grantmaker

Grantmaker is an AI-powered grant management platform for charitable funders, foundations, trusts, and local governments. It brings application form building, eligibility checks, due diligence, risk analysis, assessment, scoring, panel collaboration, reporting, and portfolio planning into one web-based workflow. Its focus is on funding teams that need to evaluate proposals against configured criteria, identify suitable organisations, and document decisions with human oversight.

Pricing is structured around the amount a funder gives out annually. The “Up to £250k given out” plan costs £2,500 per year, billed annually. “Up to £1m given out” costs £7,500 per year, “Up to £5m given out” costs £18,000 per year, and “Up to £20m given out” costs £37,500 per year. Each published tier includes unlimited grants and rounds, an application form builder, search and discovery, eligibility checks, due diligence, and assessment and scoring. Prices exclude VAT, and the subscription term is at least 12 months.

The product’s strongest area is the decision workflow. Teams can configure scoring, collaborate during panel selection, add notes and comments, analyse risk, plan portfolio distribution and budgets, and retain audit trails for AI-generated assessments. AI-assisted search can also help identify potential partner organisations beyond submitted applications. Grantmaker should suit funders prioritising structured review and traceable decisions. It may be less suitable for organisations seeking a free plan, monthly commitment, or a platform outside a web-based operating model.
