Managing grants and loans across disconnected systems and inconsistent processes limits visibility, collaboration and control throughout the lifecycle. GovConnect™ Grants Management software brings the grant and loan lifecycle together in one modern, connected experience—from application and review through contract award and closeout.
What is GovConnect™ Grants Management?
Built by Deloitte on the Salesforce government cloud platform, GovConnect™ Grants Management is an accelerator that gives grant applicants, reviewers, awardees and government staff a single, centralized place to collaborate for greater consistency, visibility and control. It serves as a single source of truth for the full grant and loan lifecycle to help organizations overcome the challenges of disconnected systems, complex requirements and frequent policy changes that make grant and loan management processes difficult to scale and maintain.
Designed around a common framework, GovConnect™ supports consistent processes across programs while allowing agencies to accommodate the specific requirements of different organizations, funding opportunities and regulatory environments. Users can manage records, workflows, forms, budgets, review criteria and digital experiences more efficiently through a unified, customizable interface, eliminating the need to switch between disconnected tools.
Powered by data rather than code, GovConnect™ is designed for flexibility and scalability. Deloitte has invested more than 100,000 hours extending capabilities for Salesforce grant management and the loan lifecycle, creating prebuilt, configurable functionality that can accelerate implementation, reduce development and maintenance costs, and make it easier to respond to evolving policy, funding and program needs.
