Our Story
We Invented Online Grantmaking Long Before It Was Fashionable
Back in 1995, when we first launched our innovative web-based grants management and employee giving on-line software, we got a lot of funny looks. It wasn’t surprising, really. In 1995, there were very few people who were comfortable conducting business transactions online.
At the time, the majority of websites consisted of static content, with a very small amount of interactivity available to the site visitors. Back then, just about everyone was developing “installed” systems and supplying customers with CD-ROMs.
It was during these early days of the Internet that we at CyberGrants got busy building a complete web-based grants management system. We didn’t know it at the time, but we were pioneering “cloud computing,” nearly two decades before it would become widely accepted.
Our Pioneering Technology Led to a Series of Industry Firsts
The breakthroughs that we’ve made over the past two decades have positioned us as the leading provider of deeply functional online tools for both grantmaking and employee giving.
Our track record is defined by a series of important “firsts” that have stood the test of time:
- First to develop the online application
- First to provide online grants administration
- First to provide online workplace giving and volunteering
- First to provide online integration with dozens of lists to make your life easier
And while being first is good, being the best is even better. We’re never satisfied with our achievements, which is why we continue to refine and optimize our technology year after year. By doing so, we’re able to constantly deliver the best possible solutions to our global base of clients.
