What are the best Submittable alternatives for a government grant program?
Short answerGranted, SmartSimple and Euna Grants are the main Submittable alternatives built for government grantmaking: Granted for county authorities and grant boards, SmartSimple and Euna Grants for larger state and multi-agency programs.
Submittable is widely used by governments, foundations and corporations. Agencies look elsewhere for a few common reasons: they want software built only for public grantmaking, board voting that stays independent, or a vendor that does the setup and migration for them.
These three alternatives are built for public-sector grant makers. Each vendor’s answers come from its own public pages, linked below, as of the date shown; Granted is ours.

Common questions.
Why do government agencies look for Submittable alternatives?
Usually for software built only for public grantmaking, board review that keeps votes independent, or a vendor that handles setup and data migration as part of the service.
Is there a Submittable alternative built for county grant authorities?
Yes. Granted is built for public authorities and grant boards and runs grant administration for a Pennsylvania county grant authority, with 388 historical awards consolidated.
Which Submittable alternatives are built for state agencies?
SmartSimple’s Government Funding edition and Euna Grants both name state, local and tribal governments as core customers, and both are aimed at larger, more complex programs.
Can we take our Submittable records to another platform?
Usually, through exports. Our team imports past awards into Granted from spreadsheet exports, so earlier rounds stay in each organization’s funding history.
