ICF grantTRAX

Overview

Because existing systems are siloed, fragmented, and weren’t built to handle the multiple (and growing) federal funding sources—each with different deadlines and reporting requirements—data is scattered across systems, spreadsheets, and emails, and the grants disbursement process is overly manual. Moreover, these systems are not adaptable to agency specific needs and ever-changing federal requirements. Without the right system in place, state and local governments risk:

Data breaches that compromise and expose the personal data of applicants
Delayed funding for the people and communities that need it the most
Underutilized funding within prescribed deadlines
Increased chances of reputational harm
Enhanced scrutiny by media attention for mismanaged funds and grants

grantTRAX® is simplifying grants management with advanced data and privacy protection.
