Avondale, AZ
Doubles Grant Awards and Applies for Critical Highway Funding
Industry: Local Government
Avondale doubled the dollar value of grants received in its first two years using eCivis, and they collaborated with the Arizona Department of Transportation to apply for a $1.5 million grant to improve traffic flow.
Using eCivis… has really enhanced collaboration between our city and the state.

City of Boynton Beach, FL
Grants Management Turns “Golden”
Industry: Local Government
City employees found that Tracking and Reporting (T&R) made grants management significantly easier by cutting down on the stress and hassle of a previously heavy workload. T&R users became more efficient at managing grant awards and seeking additional funding, which resulted in a recent audit report document go from “good to golden,” according to the auditor.
I don't know how I'd manage my grants without eCivis. Now I don't have to remember when things are due or worry whether they're on the calendar. I just plug in all the dates for progress reports, photographs, and reimbursements, and it reminds me when they're needed; no chance of missing deadlines.

Goodyear, AZ
Tracking & Reporting Helps Recoup $1M in Reimbursements
Industry: Local Government
Within six months of implementing Tracking & Reporting, the city had secured more than $1M in outstanding grant reimbursements. In addition, grant activity increased from $1.3M to more than $3M, and showed no signs of slowing down.
[Without eCivis] Goodyear would probably be out of the grants business, or at least the federal grants business, as missed reports, reimbursements, and so on would have prevented the city from ever being funded again by certain federal agencies.

Raleigh, NC
Increases Competitive Grant Dollars with eCivis
Industry: Local Government
Raleigh, NC, one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., subscribed to eCivis Grants Network to help standardize their grants management process and increase the number of grants applications, while decreasing the time grant writers spent searching for grants.
eCivis is one of a kind. It came very highly recommended from Debbie Majors in FL... Another reason we chose eCivis was because we simply didn't find a product that could do what eCivis could do and that was a huge selling point.
