Cash is King

Stack up 12 free months and your subsequent referrals will yield you $50 in cash for every new annual subscription referred.

GEMS allows me to seamlessly manage multiple clients' grant portfolios all in one place. Deadline reminders and communication with funders, clients, and teammates is facilitated through the platform.

Dianne G.

Owner, Grant Writing Firm

Since using GEMS, my firm's procedures have tightened up considerably- from application prep to submissions to funder communication to award procedures... it's all improved thanks to GEMS!

Jessica V.

Owner, Grant Writing Firm

GEMS has been a game changer for my business. GEMS provides amazing learning opportunities with its creators to get on a video chat and ask questions, receive tutorials, and really feel like you are utilizing the system to the fullest extent.

Kim J.

Owner, Grant Writing Firm

My productivity has increased and my stress has decreased because I can efficiently and effectively keep track of my work. I recommend GEMS to every grant writer I know to help them stay organized and never stress about remembering a deadline again!

Janice T.

Owner, Grant Writing Firm

I find GEMS incredibly easy to use and it helps me stay organized and focused on current and upcoming work. It is also very helpful when discussing projects with my clients because all of the information is at my fingertips and I can let them know the status of all the projects I have worked on for them.

Jennifer V.

Grant Writer/Subcontractor

I like that GEMS is continuously making improvements to their system.

Jan R.

Owner, Grant Writing Firm

GEMS has the most functionality among all the grant software I have used. It is a filing system, a tracking system, and a reporting system. With minimal information inputted, I can produce detailed reports for board members and leadership teams to see. I used to have three different systems to accomplish what GEMS does in one system.

Jacquelyn A.

Owner, Grant Writing Firm

The ability to customize the process for my subcontractors' work has been the most critical for my business.

Jacquelyn A.

Owner, Grant Writing Firm

In less than a year of using GEMS, I have increased my grant writing team, doubled my client list, and more than doubled my income while decreasing my stress and nearly eliminating meetings with my subcontractors.

Yvonne M.

Owner of Grant Writing Firm

GEMS is my Zen. It takes a lot of stress out of the process.

Gabrielle A.

GEMS took our grant management to the next level! It made it easy to communicate with others on the grants team. Everyone having access to the same info at the same time is imperative.

GEMS is very easy to use and critical for organization. As a grant consultant and writer for 10 years, it is a game changer in grant software. No more excel sheets needed! It is extremely user friendly. Can't say enough great things!

Linda J.

Executive Director, Nonprofit Organization

I LOVE my GEMS! One of my favorite software systems. I use it daily and it keeps me on track with meeting my deadlines. I love the tracking and notes part of it. I really enjoy the calendar view, it helps keep me on task. No CONS.

Anna P.

Grant Writer, Nonprofit Organization

I use GEMS to store my client's documents via the cloud and have access to it at all times. The various reports the system automatically runs made it easy to know success rates.

Mira Z.

Intern, Grant Consulting Firm

The software was very easy to use. It did not take long to learn, and it included everything needed.

Ana H.

Grant Writer, Nonprofit Organization

This is the only software that downloads the documents directly to my computer upon opening it. Everything was easy to access and the live links took you directly to the document it was referring to.

Jennifer J.

Operations Manager, Fundraising Consulting Firm

Overall, we have had an outstanding experience with GEMS. Any issues that have come up, we have received support on and the issue resolved. The ongoing learning experiences with the Master Classes are an added bonus and so insightful.

Jason K.

Operations Manager, Development Consulting Firm

The team at GEMS also want feedback from the users, as they make changes to the software based on user suggestions. It is nice to be heard.

Missy P.

Operations Manager, Fundraising Consulting Firm

There are many features in GEMS that I find to be really great. As a new user to the software and to fundraising, I found GEMS to be very user friendly. Tracking of tasks and running reports has been very helpful for both our team and clients.

Jack Z.

Operations Manager, Fundraising Consulting Firm

The support provided by the GEMS team has been amazing! We absolutely love attending the Master Classes to learn more about how we can utilize the software better.

Heather D.

Associate Grant Writer, Grant Consulting Firm

Easy to sort by clients and keep multiple tasks organized. After the initial demo, I found it easy to navigate my way around GEMS. The more time I spent on it, the more uses I had for the software.

Amy S.

Project Manager, Health Center

The filing of documents, contacts and reports is super helpful.

Becky S.

Intern, Grant Consulting Firm

Excellent! Ease of use and organizational structure of the system was specifically built for grant writers.

Rumbi M.

Easy to use and manage grant writing with a team. Easy to find data, all the past submissions are readily available. Tasks are easy to set up and will always be reminded so there are no missed deadlines. Client and funder information readily available.

Lauren T.

Freelance Grant Writer

As experts in grant-everything, GEMS staff have already helped professionalize my operations for my current and future clients after two meetings, even just in their customer support, to ensure I am making best use of the software in a way that fits my unique business model.

Amanda T.

Grant Freelancer

The value in GEMS is just as much in the customer support as it is in the software itself. Because of their knowledge of the industry, they provide extremely relevant advice not only in terms of tech/software usage, but also in terms of organizing an efficient back-end for a grant services business.

Sean S.

Freelance Grant Writer

I love that the software has been developed from the ground up for the purpose of managing capacity for a grant services business, and that they still use GEMS to run their internal operations.

Tomas P.

Freelance Grant Writer

It is clear when working with GEMS staff that they know the software inside and out, and believe in it.

Lauren T.

Grant Consultant

GEMS offers the most relevant user experience specific to grant writers and grant consultants.

Jacque A.

Owner of Grant Consultant Firm

I needed real-time updates to manage my subcontractors. Before, I had to update the spreadsheet; but GEMS updates me.

Jan R.

Owner of Grant Consultant Firm

Having your GEMS structure in place takes so much pressure off, not just for deadlines, but also from a reporting perspective. Now I just need to push a button. And the reports are beautiful. And they are accurate. Every time.

Jeremy H.

Grant Writer, Nonprofit Organization

GEMS makes life just so much easier.

Yvonne M.

Owner of Grant Writing Firm

I fell in love with GEMS because it had a place for passwords. When I saw that I did a happy dance.

Yvonne M.

Owner of Grant Writing Firm

My day starts out when I open up my laptop and open up GEMS and use the TimeTracker to track how much time I spend on specific projects for clients.

Carol S.

Grant Consultant

Before GEMS, I had to use each client's different grant management system. Now, I offer my clients an added benefit of working with me - access to grant management software and the service of someone keeping their grants information organized. That's a service in itself.

Lucas M.

Owner of Grant Consultant Firm

Now, my services come with GEMS: I come with a system, which benefits my clients, increases the efficiency of my team, facilitates my ability to monitor my business and professionalizes my services.

Sarah G.

Virtual Assistant

I can rely on GEMS to be accurate.

Heather T.

Freelance Grant Writer

I always know what is my ToDo today for all my clients and it's all color coordinated and easy to see.

Jan R.

Owner of Grant Consultant Firm

I used to spend a day, literally, to produce a grants report for each client; now I just push a button. That alone has helped me scale my business. I have 33 clients now. Imagine if I spent 1 day doing the monthly report for each! It would be impossible without GEMS!

Carlos S.

Executive Director, Nonprofit Organization

We've been using the GEMS system only a few months but can already see a difference in how much time we save and how organized everything is. GEMS makes our every day so much more efficient and stress-free.
