Compliance Manager Used the software for: ### "Capterra" November 19, 2014 4.0 The Osage Nation purchased the eCivis grants software about three years ago. Before eCivis, we maintained our grants using excel spreadsheets and grant documentation was kept with the program and the accounting department. Since having eCivis the Osage Nation has been able to have a centralized data base of all of our grants which is transparent to the Osage Nation Executive Office. It allows the administration to keep up with compliance and program measures. eCivis is on track to have a great software with continued enhancements tailored to the needs of Indian Country. Review Source BZ Becky Z. Grant Writer Used the software for: ### "eCivis Works" November 14, 2014 5.0 Using eCivis, more than $400,000 has been awarded to county agencies and nonprofits this year and we are waiting for determination on $1,219,447. We've submitted 29 grant applications so far in 2014. The Grants Network keeps me informed about upcoming notices of funding availability on a daily basis. Every week I get a list of new and renewed grant opportunities. I can view previously funded applications. I can share grant opportunities with other interested parties. I have contact information for the funder. eCivis does everything except write the grant! Review Source NM Nancy M. Grants Services Coordinator Used the software for: ### "It's a great, comprehensive software, use it every day and love the access to everything needed. " September 10, 2015 5.0 Really love the access to everything needed to apply for grants including links to the NOFAs, budgets, reviews, pre-award files, grant applications, contact information and suggestions. Your trainings are very useful, well organized and timely as well as your legislative insights. The only negative, which occurs infrequently, is how some grant opportunities are posted late while government websites have had them posted for a while. Otherwise, I really cannot find anything that would be a negative on this software. eCivis thought of everything. Review Source MAW Mary Ann W. Recreation Specialist Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It is a GREAT Service" April 6, 2018 5.0 Pros It is short and sweet and to the point. the summary area allows you to scan the information with out having to research Cons I can't think of any thing I don't like about it. It is so user friendly and so informative. Its quick and easy Review Source HG Hank G. Deputy Director, Grants Used the software for: ### "eCivis Research/Reporting and Tracking modules" November 14, 2014 4.0 The Research module has allowed us to push the searching of possible grants out to the user departments who are more aware of what their detailed needs truly are. The reporting and tracking module allows us to better track the progress of grant projects on a county-wide basis and still be able to drill down to details. Several good reports, however they really need to add an actual expenditure to budget variance report for us to fully be able to rely on the reporting and tracking module rather than our separate financial general ledger system. Review Source RE Roger E. Assistant Fire Chief Used the software for: ### "eCivis" November 14, 2014 4.0 I have been a weekly user of eCivis for the last four years. As the designated person in the Fire Department who works on grants, I have found the search agents and other features to be a valuable resource that help me with locating grant opportunities, access to grant applications and grants management tools. I have enjoyed the tutorials and other educational resources and I have made those available to other members of my department to assist with increasing our overall grants knowledge. I would encourage others to give eCivis a try. Review Source AB April B. Planner II Used the software for: ### "Request by e-Civis" November 17, 2014 4.0 I am a Planner with the Lee County Sheriff's Office. I utilize eCivis daily in locating law enforcement funding for our agency. Often, I receive valuable training information, as well as updates that may be valuable to my research. I use eCivis as a teaching tool for new Planners coming into our Unit. I have used eCivis for about 10 years and I would be lost without it. They have a tremendous database of information from which to choose, as well as well informed technicians. They make my researching much easier. Thank you, eCivis. Review Source LJ Leah J. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I found the program easy to set up and navigate. " April 16, 2018 5.0 We have found several grants that we are eligible for. Pros eCivis offers an easy to use interface that allows the user to easily search for specific areas and manage/track grants throughout the entire process. They also offer great technical support. Cons The price. It's a substantial investment, but the price can be worth it if you have staff that can aggressively pursue and secure the grant. Review Source BK Bradley K. Grants Administrator Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Entirely What You Would Expect" March 27, 2019 5.0 Pros The software is simple to navigate, and makes grant-seeking and tracking almost effortless. It does an exceptional job of collecting grant opportunities and presenting them in an organized way. Cons Sometimes (not often) I receive grants that our organization does not qualify for--e.g., our geographic region isn't served by the grant. Again, this happens only on rare occasion. Review Source LH Lisa H. Administrative Services Officer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "New ECVIS user and it has been easy to learn!" April 5, 2018 4.0 Pros Ease of use. It was a very easy software to learn. Customer support is amazing. Anytime I have a had a question, an email does the trick! Cons I haven't had any cons to speak of since I have started this software. It works just fine with customer service being A+ Review Source SH Scott H. Acting Executive Director Used the software for: ### "Our Primary Grant Resource Network" November 19, 2014 5.0 We are a small environmental non-profit and so we rely heavily on grants to fund our programs and keep the organization running. eCivis has become the primary resource that we use to find grants to apply for. We have a wide range of technological ability at our organization, and yet everyone is able to navigate and utilize the eCivis network without much problem. This will continue to be our primary grant management resource as long as they continue with the excellent service we have come to expect with their program. Review Source JM Jessie M. Business owner Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great product" July 14, 2021 5.0 Pros It was easy to navigate . Lots of information available Cons No it seems very well put together. Great Review Source TS Tara S. Supervisor, Grant Projects Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Gets the jobs done, but not my favorite software platform. " April 6, 2018 3.0 Pros One of the best features is the unlimited document storage. I also enjoy being able to see all of my projects in one place. Having access to a larger view of our institutions portfolio of grants and funders is the most helpful. Cons Multi document uploads would be better. Not the most user friendly and the interface is not that visually appealing. Conniving team members to use the product is difficult. Review Source CA Christi A. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ECivis is a great resource!" April 9, 2018 5.0 Funding! Pros I like the support most. It is also easy to search for incredibly specific local and national grants. Cons I do not have any problems with the software. I just need more time to utilize the great resource that has been made available to me. Review Source DM Diane M. Grants Specialist Used the software for: ### "All-inclusive grant research engine!" September 10, 2015 5.0 Although I hold the title "Grants Specialist", in truth, working for a small municipality I wear many different hats. Access to the eCivis grants network makes my grant searches quick and comprehensive, which is the way I need my searching to be in order for me to address all my other job duties on a daily basis. All pertinent information is accessible by hovering your cursor over the entry...you don't even have to click! I would personally recommend eCivis for any organization that is looking for grants. Review Source DC Doug C. Used the software for: ### "Easy to search, easy to use and great customer support." September 10, 2015 5.0 We have been using eCivis for over a year and found it easy. There is an abundant amount of information that can be searched and narrowed down to our projects. The eCivis system makes it easy to setup projects and have notices sent when a grant come available. The customer support is great. We are constantly being sent tips to improve our outcome and training modules to improve our proficiencies. There are also some great webinars to improve our chances of getting grant awards. So far so good, Review Source JC Jeanna C. Used the software for: ### "Polk County Board of County Commissioners" December 1, 2014 5.0 eCivis has taken a very long, tedious and time consuming process and has increased my job efficiency by 100%. eCivis system has great reports and I feel that these reports are very instrumental in tracking and management and strongly encourage you to utilize the reporting systems from the beginning, also eCivis has tasks and reminders which are very efficient in assisting with time management, when writing grants time can get away from us and deadlines can be missed. I highly recommend eCivis. Review Source SC Stephanie C. Grant Resource Manager Used the software for: ### "eCivis use by City of Enid " November 13, 2014 5.0 The City of Enid Oklahoma has used eCivis for a year now and really enjoy the service. It's a one stop shop for grant research and tracking. No more searching on numerous sites for grants, it's all on one site provided by eCivis. My favorite is the tracking software. I can generate reports in a matter of seconds and update the status of grants effectively and efficiently. Our representative is very attentive and keeps us up to date on everything. They have a package to fit any need. Review Source FD Fred D. Grant Coordinator Used the software for: ### "eCivis product review" November 20, 2014 4.0 The agency has been using the program since August, 2014. I have been mostly using it for exploring grant possibilities and found it provides a wealth of information. However, sometimes the everyday listing of opportunities presented are not geographically suitable to my region. The comfort of using the program only increases with hands on use. Customer service and support has been outstanding as William has personally walked me through several one on one training experiences. Review Source DB Deborah B. Grant Coordintor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "eCivis Review" January 3, 2020 5.0 Great experience Pros Easy of use for grant searches Provides comprehensive information on grant submissions Cons Wish they had a video tutorial on the software and its different uses. Review Source CK Chin K. Grants Manager Used the software for: ### "Great Resource" September 21, 2015 5.0 The services provided by eCivis was outstanding. Their team of experienced managers and hardworking grant writers were able to quickly assess and respond to the needs of the Sheriff's Department by providing technical assistance for several of our grant applications. It is their attention to details and responsiveness that makes eCivis an incredible resource. The Grants Network software is extremely simple and user friendly when researching grant opportunities. Review Source LS Lisa S. Development Director Used the software for: ### "Software is intuitive and easy to adapt to my agency needs." December 10, 2015 4.0 From my experience, I have been very pleased with the product. I have a very specific grant application focus ( i.e. foundations seeking to fund transitional housing and support services for individuals recovering from substance use disorders) and I am able to drill down to that specificity with the features that are available with eCivis. I have not needed to utilize much of the customer service feature offered by the program but when I have, it's been exceptional. Review Source WS Whitney S. Director of Development and Strategic Initiatives Used the software for: ### "Great product and service " September 10, 2015 5.0 I've been using eCivis Grants Network for over 4 years now. The weekly grants list has helped my org identify multiple new funding sources over the years, and the information that the database contains is comprehensive and always up to date. The system also is useful for tracking grant research and completion of grant applications. If orgs don't already have a system for tracking this info, I would highly recommend using the eCivis system for this. Review Source CC Cynthia C. Manager, Grant Development Used the software for: ### "eCivis Database" November 17, 2014 4.0 This is a really good product for grant seekers - it has a comprehensive description of each grant opportunity, with links to the actual funding source document. The search capability is good. The customer service is first-rate - responsive, quick and accurate. I enjoyed working with the staff - we would probably stay with eCivis but are moving more into a development, rather than a grant-writing mode, so we are purchasing a product more closely suited to our needs. Review Source JB James B. Museum Curator Used the software for: ### "Very Useful Tool" November 13, 2014 5.0 I feel like eCivis keeps me current on a wide variety of developments in the grants field, in addition to giving me a way to store the results of my research and share findings with colleagues, inside and outside our organization. There are times when the application appears to stall, especially in the My Saved Grants mode. I'm unsure where that problem lies. The redesign of the main user features, however, have made the entire site more user friendly. Review Source Similar Products Featured
