Why is the Don Wood Foundation transitioning to a new grants management portal?
We listened to feedback from grant seekers and wanted to offer a more simplified and seamless experience. After reviewing six software options, we've selected Giving Data. We are joining several local foundations that have recently transitioned to the Giving Data grants management software or are planning to do so in the near future.

What do grant seekers need to do?
- First-time users will need to sign on to the new system to create a username and profile. Get started here.
- Save your past work! While the Don Wood Foundation will transfer as much information into the new system as possible, we strongly recommend that you log in to the old Foundant system here to print or save your past work for your files. After September 30, 2023, you will not have access to the prior system.
- New emails will come from [email protected] or [email protected]. If you aren’t receiving emails, check your junk or spam folders.
Where can I get help?
Our goal is to make this transition as easy for grant seekers as possible. There are several ways to learn about the new system.
