Altum Announces the Acquisition of the Easygrants Grants Management Software

Reston, VA. November 7, 2006 – In a continuing effort to offer the best products and services to the philanthropic and government sectors, Altum today announces the acquisition of the Easygrants suite of grantmaking software. Formerly owned by the Arlington Group, Easygrants is best-of-breed technology enabling grantors to leverage a full life-cycle system that creates efficiencies for grantseekers and grantmakers alike.

Easygrants is the country’s leading Web-based grantmaking software, facilitating the management of grant proposals, letters of intent, reviews, awards, and grantee reports in one central repository, accessible any time via the Web. Easygrants is a mature and highly extensible solution, is configurable to clients’ unique workflow requirements and can be used by small and large organizations alike.

Ken Fang, President and CEO of Altum, said, “we are thrilled to add Easygrants to our growing suite of products that enable the philanthropic and government community to take advantage of solutions that create communications, staff workflow, reporting and financial efficiencies. Easygrants has been a mainstay in the philanthropic community for a decade, and is trusted by some of the largest granters in the US. We look forward to harnessing the power of Easygrants and making its robust feature set available to even more grantmaking organizations in the future.”

Easygrants is currently deployed to support medical research, private foundations and public grantors. It offers review capabilities, online contract building and full reporting capabilities. Its PDQueue software drastically reduces the need for paper inflow into granting organizations resulting in long-term lower cost of ownership.
