About
Built for the grants officer, not the procurement checklist.
I built Litegrants because I got tired of software that felt like it was designed for an IT department's procurement process instead of a grants officer's Tuesday morning.
The Problem
Overbuilt, overpriced, and over-implemented.
Existing grant management platforms were designed to impress procurement committees, not to help grants officers do their jobs. They require months of onboarding, dedicated implementation consultants, and multi-week kickoff processes before a single application can be collected.
Per-seat licensing punishes collaboration — the very thing grantmaking requires. Annual contracts lock you in before you know if the software actually fits your workflow. And when you want to leave, your data goes with them.
The Approach
The platform a grants officer would build.
Litegrants covers the full grant lifecycle — eligibility screening, applications, reviewer scoring, award decisions, grantee reporting, and closeout — without the implementation tax. Sign up, follow the guided setup, and your first program can be live the same day.
Flat pricing at $299/month. No implementation fees. No per-seat licensing. No annual contracts. Month-to-month, cancel anytime, and your rate is locked for five years from signup. The software respects your time and your budget because it was built by someone who knows what both are worth.
Product Philosophy
Three things we don't compromise on.
Lean over bloated
Every feature earns its place. We don't add complexity to justify the price — the price is already simple.
Honest over salesy
If something isn't ready yet, we say so. No vaporware roadmaps, no feature promises that don't exist.
Practitioner-first
Design decisions come from grantmaking experience, not engineering assumptions about what grants officers need.
