Chose AmpliFund
We previously submitted our data via Excel, and everything went smoothly. I think the purpose of AmpliFund was to make it simpler for the grantor to integrate spending data from various grantees, but that never worked out for them.

Chose WizeHive Zengine
We selected WizeHive [Zengine] due to the flexibility and the customer management. We can always talk to someone.

Chose WizeHive Zengine
Frankly, WizeHive Zengine was the best platform in the market when our non-profits were ready to move away from paper applications and archaic scholarship management. It continues to serve our needs, and we have not found a platform that offers something more attractive.
Chose WizeHive Zengine
Although Planstone was suggested to us as a more robust system than WizeHive, it was actually more difficult to use and did not meet our needs. We regret leaving WizeHive for Planstone.

Compared to these, Zengine is on par with each of them. All of them offer pretty much the same functionality, although a couple of the others have a more user-friendly interface. Zengine is on par with pricing as well, similar to all of these. The difference comes in when you …

I wasn't working with the USTA Florida team when they were using GIFTS, so I'm unable to compare. When I came into the organization they were already on their search to find a system to replace Blackbaud and had closed their grant applications for over a year since they didn't …

SurveyMonkey and SurveyGizmo are great to use for other programs and events that require collecting fairly basic responses and feedback, however, these don't provide the level of information and data that is needed for our grants processes. WizeHive provides a number of tools …

Likelihood to Recommend
The application procedure was the sole practical aspect of this software that actually benefited our organization. We had been using paper applications, but AmpliFund allowed us to completely digitize and streamline the process. Even though we had a few problems with reviewers not having the proper rights and had to contact multiple times to remedy this, this was still a useful service.

I highly recommend this software, as it has allowed us to be much more transparent with the delivery of benefits and their applications, also the hours of work in this regard are less, allowing staff to devote to other tasks. A very useful and necessary software.

We didn’t really use their support. I wish they would have told us more about the fact they were changing to get rid of the flash player as that was the main reason we left.

Their design team gave us the option to save some money by creating the forms ourselves for both the submission and review portals. This also allowed us to get to a point where we felt very comfortable in any future changes that would need to be made to forms since we were so immersed in creating them.
