Stop fraud and send funds to the right people

Prevent fraud with powerful tools that work out of the box, like Knowledge Based Authentication and Identity Verification. Screen for eligibility among legitimate applicants with specialized eligibility forms. Finally, send funds directly to those that need them with secure ACH transfers.

Run employee volunteering and giving programs

Recruit, retain, and motivate your employees with volunteering and giving programs. Give employees the opportunity to sign up for and even create events and campaigns they care about. Match their commitment by automatically matching their donations with custom levels of custom rules and thresholds.

Create comprehensive reports

Use easy-to-understand dashboards to measure the impact of your program–both while it’s running and after it’s complete–and use that information to improve your strategy. You can also dive deep into advanced reporting and even send program data to other tools using secure integrations. When the dust settles you’ll have all the reports and data you need to understand and communicate your impact.

CASE STUDY

How the State of Montana launched its massive COVID-19 grant program in just a few weeks

In 2020, the State of Montana received $1.25 billion in CARES Act funding that they needed to disburse to Montanans in need ASAP. They turned to Submittable to help launch 18 emergency grant programs securely.

Because this funding arrived deep in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the State of Montana needed a tool they could use to launch quickly while remaining fully remote. They also needed a tool that was simple enough for any Montanan to use, and one that hundreds of employees could learn in a matter of days.

Submittable served as a central location for all of these relief efforts, providing one intuitive and secure place to disburse emergency COVID-19 relief funds.
