"Submittable makes applying easier for our grantees and for the foundation."
4/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

I appreciate the ability to assign proposals to our reviewers and for them to see all of the submitted materials for each applicant. I can track who has started to work on their proposal review and they can also see our clarifying correspondence with the applicant in real time. The application building process helps us design an application that makes sense to our grantees and eases their burden in applying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

As with any software updates, it has taken a while to get use to the new Submittable platform changes but in the end, it is worth it. We can now link forms (for example, a final report form) to an application so everything is one place. I think customer support was overwhelmed with the changeover and it took a while for them to reply for help requests. I wish you can have a more direct help line without paying a premium.

"Highly Recommend Bright Funds"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

VMware is extremely supportive of my volunteer efforts. If I volunteer 40 hours during the work year, I get $600.00 to donate to the charity of my choice. I log my hours and make my donation through the Bright Funds app. Their app is easy to use and if I have any questions, the BF team is quick to respond (thanks Michelle!). I highly recommend this app to encourage your team to volunteer with a frictionless experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

I have nothing to complain about. All good on this end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Submittable Gets the Job Done"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Submittable is a perfect platform for enabling a team (working remotely or otherwise) to review applications while sharing reflections and feedback with each other, and ultimately the applicant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

Submittable is not everything under the sun, it does its job well but it is not a complete grants management platform like GIFTS or others. It doesn't try to be everything, and maybe that is ultimately a good thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The options to customize throughout the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting system could use help and for the company to recognize organizations use it for call for abstracts for events as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform, but expensive."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Submittable is an excellent tool for accepting submissions for any project. Each submission portal is highly customizable, allowing you to change everything from the title to the submission cap to detailed submission guidelines. It also accepts a variety of file formats, and the screening process is intuitive and collaborative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

This program can be very expensive. They also recently made changes to how their site and their plans work, so the support pages are frequently outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A user-friendly platform for powering a grants program"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

My nonprofit used Submittable for running a small grants program and we're very pleased with the results. It was intuitive to use both for us and our grant applicants. I liked that we were able to create a simple landing page for our program within Submittable which made it easy to share with others. The application itself was simple to create using drag and drop field types. Our users had no problems filling out and submitting their applications and receiving notifications about their application status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

With any powerful platform, there's a learning curve one needs to climb in order to understand and take advantage of all the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Easy to see other peoples feedback. I like that I can compare scores. I appreciate the way scoring works as well to create some uniformity across scores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

Not very intuitive to navigate. Could have a better user experience. I needed a training to understand how to use submittable, it would benefit people to be able to understand the program by exploring on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
