SmartyGrants

Pricing model

The price of SmartyGrants is based on the total amount of money that is being given away by your organisation through its grants program. This method of pricing is designed to provide accessibility to all grantmakers, regardless of your size or budget.

With SmartyGrants you are purchasing a subscription to use the system for 12 months. Unlike traditional software, you are not buying a licence to use a particular version of the software; you are buying a subscription to the latest version of the system. This means that you will always have access to every feature or innovation that we implement with SmartyGrants.

For subscriptions up to $7,500, we provide one day of training (usually in two half-day blocks) either via an online webinar or face to face in our offices in West Melbourne.

For subscriptions of $12,500 and above, we provide one day of training face to face at your nominated venue (travel expenses are extra).

If you require extra training, you can register for one of our scheduled training days for $99 per user (GST inclusive), or you can purchase a full day's training at $1,500 per day (GST inclusive), plus travel costs, on site at your office.

Tailored migration of your old grants program data to SmartyGrants can be arranged. We work with you to produce a tailored quote (typical charges are around $1,000 to $5,000).

• One fee for your organisation, not department:Your subscription fee is for the entire organisation, which means that grants programs from different departments can all share the one subscription.
• It's a subscription: You are buying a 12-month subscription to the SmartyGrants service. Because it is a subscription, our fees are significantly less than what you would pay upfront for a traditional software licence. You will need to renew your subscription each year if you want to continue to use the system.
• Latest version: Unlike traditional software, you are not buying a licence to use a particular version of the software; you are buying a subscription to the latest version of the system. This means that you will always have access to every feature or innovation that we implement with SmartyGrants. Through our model, you don't have to fork out more money for a new version just to gain access to one or two new features.
• Unlimited applications: We don't charge you a fee for each application you receive. It seems illogical to us to penalise your organisation for successfully getting the word out about your grants program. And with the cost of data storage continually dropping we see no reason to impose arbitrary, money grabbing caps on how many applications you can receive.
• Unlimited users: That's right – you can have as many users on the system as you want. Compare this to your typical software licence that limits how many people use the system concurrently, or how many computers you can install the software on. With SmartyGrants, you can provide access to as many users within your organisation as you need to get the job done, for no extra charge.
• Servers and infrastructure: We will take care of the servers and IT infrastructure that is needed to run SmartyGrants. This saves you from the cost of buying and maintaining a server in your own office to handle the grant applications. What's more, you don't need to install SmartyGrants on any computer ever. All you need to do is ensure that you have a broadband connection to the internet and a fairly recent browser (anything other than IE6, please). Your IT department will appreciate having the time to focus on other tasks, rather than maintaining yet another proprietary software package installed on a server and multiple computers.
