Testimonials

As a lifelong dance artist and the founding artistic director of a non-profit dance organization, I am always writing grants and I have to keep on top of available funding opportunities. The very first time I logged into SmartGrant and did a search, I found a grant program that I had never come across before, from a funder I am familiar with, and it was exactly targeted to the type of funding I was looking for. What a fantastic discovery! I am sold. I will be making regular use of SmartGrant features from now on. Thank you to Mary Ann and her team for providing such a valuable service and resource to the arts sector. 

I’m really impressed with SmartGrant— it’s such an easy-to-use tool that makes grant research feel way less overwhelming. The navigation is super intuitive, and the design is clean and beautiful, which I know will really resonate with folks in the arts & culture world. Honestly, it’s a game-changer for me. It’s going to replace my Asana projects and that clunky “grant status” spreadsheet I’ve been juggling.

The pricing is totally reasonable, and with how much time and effort it’s going to save, it’ll easily pay for itself. I also love that GrantSmart doesn’t shy away from addressing the tough reality of shrinking government funding—it feels like the team really understands the challenges we’re facing in the arts sector right now. Very timely!

Big congrats to MaryAnn and the whole team. This is an incredible tool that’s going to be such a gift for arts organizations and professionals, especially during these tough times.
