Frequently Asked Questions

Litegrants is a grant management platform for organizations that award grants. It covers the full lifecycle: program design, eligibility screening, application collection, reviewer scoring, award decisions, grantee reporting, and closeout — all in one place.

It is not a directory for grant seekers to find funding. It is software for the organizations doing the grantmaking.

Litegrants is built for grantmaking organizations: private foundations, corporate CSR and giving programs, community foundations, and nonprofit grant administrators. If your organization reviews applications and writes grant checks, Litegrants is for you.

It is not designed for individuals or organizations searching for grants to apply to.

Hours, not months. There is no implementation consultant, no onboarding project, and no multi-week kickoff process. Sign up, follow the guided setup, and your first grant program can be live the same day.

No. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can use Litegrants. The platform was designed for grants officers and program staff, not IT departments.

The 30-day free trial is the demo. Full product, no feature restrictions, no credit card required. There is no watered-down sandbox or scheduled sales call — just your actual workspace, ready to use from day one.

$299 per month, flat. Every feature, unlimited users, no tiers, no add-ons. Your rate is locked for five years from signup.

Your $299/month rate is contractually guaranteed for 60 months from your trial start date. It appears on every invoice. If we raise prices for new customers in the future, your rate does not change.

If you add a payment method before the trial ends, your subscription starts automatically and your 5-year rate lock begins. If you don't add a payment method, your subscription pauses — your data is preserved, not deleted. You can come back and activate anytime.

No. Zero. The price is the price.

Yes. Month-to-month, no cancellation fees, no annual contracts. Your maximum financial exposure is one month's subscription.

Not currently. The flat monthly rate keeps things simple for both sides. The 5-year rate lock is the long-term value proposition — it does the work that annual discounts usually do.

We'll communicate any changes well in advance — not a 30-day notice buried in a footer. Our goal is to remain the most straightforward option in this market, and that doesn't change at year five.

You do. Always. Litegrants claims zero ownership of any data you or your applicants enter. We are a custodian, not a co-owner.

Yes. Full export in CSV or JSON, anytime, one click. No export fees, no waiting period, no support ticket required.

You have 30 days after cancellation to export everything. After that, your data is scheduled for deletion. There are no hostage situations — your data is yours to take with you.

Yes. Strict multi-tenant isolation at the data layer — every query is scoped to your organization. Your data is never mixed with or accessible by other customers. See our Security page for technical details.

No. Never. We don't sell, rent, or share your data with anyone for marketing or advertising purposes.

Yes. Create as many programs as you need, each with its own forms, eligibility rules, and review rubrics. There is no limit on programs, application cycles, or applications.

Unlimited. Every reviewer, officer, and administrator in your organization is included at no extra cost. We don't charge per seat.

Not yet. If API access is important for your workflow, let us know — it directly influences what we build next. Reach us at [email protected].

Yes. Multi-contributor applications are supported, with live field locking so co-authors don't overwrite each other's work.

Common document and image formats including PDF, Word, Excel, and image files.

Contact us directly at [email protected]. During the founding period, every question goes to the people who built the platform — not a call center. We commit to a 24-hour response on every inquiry.

The platform includes guided setup and in-context help throughout. We're actively building out a knowledge base as the product grows — and direct access to the founding team means you're never stuck waiting on a help article to be written.

Early customers work directly with the founding team, have real influence on the product roadmap, and get their rate locked for five years. It means you're part of building this, not just buying it.
