Overall Satisfaction with Submittable

We use Submittable for our CSR programs, including grants management and employee volunteerism. Our national grants program launched in Fall 2023, and it was seamless to set it up on Submittable. We also host an open employee relief application that works well for our users. We began using the employee volunteer platform in Spring 2024, and have been happy with it as well.

Pros

  • Easy to use as a grant reviewer and as a grant applicant.
  • Strong reporting capabilities.
  • Excellent support team.

Cons

  • We are some of the earliest users of employee volunteerism, so there have been some things to work out. However, because of that, we've gotten a lot of one-on-one support to help make minor tweaks to the system in a way that works for us.
  • We were able to launch our first-ever community grants program on time, and received over 300 applications (we were anticipating ~50 in our first year out.)
  • This has substantially improved our application and tracking capabilities for our employee relief fund grants, and ensured we are following IRS guidelines.
We found it very easy to learn, to use, and to teach others to use. When we launched our grants program, we received our first application within 48 hours, which proved that it was easy and intuitive for applicants to use as well.
Submittable had all of the functionality we were looking for at a very competitive price.
