TextShelf for Grant Application Review

Streamline your grant review process from application to decision.

The core workflow, without the enterprise overhead
The Challenge

Managing grant applications means wrestling with:

  • High volume of applications — Hundreds of PDFs, each with different formats
  • Multiple review stages — Initial screening, full review, committee decisions
  • Diverse evaluation criteria — Different programs need different rubrics
  • Reporting requirements — Board reports, demographic analysis, compliance

Enterprise grant management software costs $50K+/year. Spreadsheets and email don't scale. What's the middle ground?
