Foundant Technologies plans, side by side

| CommunitySuite | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
| Scholarship Lifecycle Manager | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Grant Lifecycle Manager
On requestThe entry tier. It covers three licence tiers gating automation and eligibility quizzes, two-year contract standard, reported range of roughly 4,250 to 9,500 usd per year, complex organisations priced on assets under management, implementation not included in the subscription.

People bring Foundant Technologies in for a private foundation making 50 to 500 grants a year that wants a defined process rather than a configuration project, a community foundation needing donor-advised fund accounting and grantmaking from the same vendor, running a scholarship programme with volunteer review committees who should not have full staff logins, a foundation that needs charity status verification against candid data before every payment goes out. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Foundant Technologies are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Foundant Technologies badges page.
Before you pay for Foundant Technologies
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Foundant Technologies against the tools that do have one before committing.
Foundant Technologies runs on web, and is published by Foundant Technologies of Bozeman, Montana, United States. The full record is on the Foundant Technologies review, and the rest of the category is under best nonprofits tools.
