115 Submittable Testimonials

"Submittable has helped streamline our processes, reduce redundancies, and increase efficiencies, specifically in the review process."

"The team behind Submittable has made working with them an absolute pleasure and has helped us to put our focus on addressing community needs versus trying to figure out complicated software! It's been great."

“Being in our first year, we’re in an experimental phase and it’s about trying different things out, but what I love is that we’re learning so much and there’s so many more opportunities for our new foundation. I have ideas on how to continually tweak the system and refine our processes to make it work even better for us.”

"There’s seven people on staff and we hope to get 1,000+ applications. To be able to hold all of that information in a single place where we can track, mutually, the progress of those reviews and then advance those to our board to essentially approve and stamp funding—it’s been incredibly helpful."

"If we’re putting something new up I’ll have it done within an hour. Before [Submittable] it would have taken a couple days’ worth of planning."

"Any tool that allows foundations to deepen relationships with grantees or save applicants time, especially as they are doing incredibly important work, is useful—Submittable allows foundations to do that."

“In our COVID response, there was a large amount of auto-renewals of grants without applications and also giving emergency support without requiring any kinds of reports—things to really make sure that groups are being supported and not spending time on admin during a crisis."

"Having a repository of data and information about everyone who's had access to one of our programs in one place is really great. Being able to go back and access that information and use the reports in real time, is equally great. And nobody has to put it in a table."

"Our summer camp scholarship program has been using it with phenomenal success and our Innovation Grant program is in the process of moving over to it now. If you require a tool to receive and process any form of application, we highly recommend it."

"[The implementation team] showed tremendous care and commitment and compassion. The team went above and beyond to help us."

"Submittable has been a game changer in terms of saving time on administrative tasks."

"We've been able to easily rely on volunteers in far flung locations for different tasks, including the reviewers. The system for reviewers is easy to use and intuitive."

"As a generosity-driven company, we are constantly working hard to understand how accessible and equitable our grantmaking program is in action. Submittable has helped us further those goals by providing tools that remove as many barriers as possible for nonprofit organizations; for us, this means collecting updates and streamlining our processes to be as intuitive as possible."

"When I work with the board of directors, and I'm trying to get a better idea of, what does our application pool look like? And what is the need out there? Submittable has made it really, really easy to be able to go in and find that data."

"What we found is people want to volunteer, but if there's any type of threshold, then it's harder for them to take advantage of it."
