Enhancing foundation reach through technology

At Fíonta, we recognize the significance of delivering customized solutions to assist foundations in meeting their objectives.

Pain points

Managing the grant application process

Foundations often struggle to manage the grant application process from start to finish effectively. This complex journey involves efficiently handling applications, fostering collaboration among reviewers, and centralizing the application process. Let Fíonta design and build an integrated solution built on Salesforce’s Nonprofit Cloud to make the process more manageable and efficient, allowing you to spend more time increasing your impact.

Inefficient communication

Foundations rely on effective communication with grantees and stakeholders to build trust, foster collaboration, and ultimately enhance the impact of their philanthropic endeavors. However, this can be a complex task, often fraught with challenges related to email outreach, scheduling reminders, and tracking interactions. Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is a versatile communication hub tailored to meet these needs.

Limited ability to assess impact

Foundations often struggle to report their impact in real-time. Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud goes beyond streamlining grant management; it also equips foundations with powerful impact measurement tools that have the potential to revolutionize the way they assess and enhance their grantmaking efforts. These tools enable foundations to collect and analyze valuable data from their grantees, ushering in a new era of project assessment and overall impact evaluation. Foundations that embrace impact investing, a powerful strategy for generating positive social and financial returns, often grapple with the complexities of managing these investments and, through our partnership with Amp Impact, foundations can track assets, assess social and economic returns, and effectively manage portfolios.

Manual reporting and compliance

Foundations often struggle to generate dynamic reports and ensure that grantee and impact data is safe and secure. Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is a dynamic solution that not only streamlines reporting processes but also ensures adherence to compliance requirements, addressing foundational needs precisely.

Streamlining grantmaking processes

The International Sustainable Energy Foundation (ISEF) promotes an environmentally sustainable and climate-friendly world by supporting actions that contribute to the preservation of the environment. Its work includes creating access for development, adaptation, air quality, climate finance, cities and urban planning, decarbonization, equitable transition, land use, low-carbon development, resilience, smart agriculture, sustainable energy policies, water, and more, all within a sustainable development paradigm. ISEF came to Fíonta looking for a system to manage their grantmaking and a desire to connect traditional grantmaking endeavors back to the source funds tracked through donations and grants, robust reporting, an online grant portal, and automatic generation of award letters.

Increasing donations with holistic view of supporters

The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) was founded in 1946 with the mission of conducting biomedical research that would help people live longer, healthier lives.
