Applicant and Grantee Portal

The new Applicant and Grantee Portal became available for all Blackbaud Grantmaking customers globally in July of 2024 and provides significant benefits over the Legacy (IGAM) solution, which will become unavailable for all customers effective August 31st, 2025. We have redesigned the end-to-end experience for applicants and grantees through this new Portal and encourage you to download the Applicant and Grantee Portal Transition Checklist, and visit the Help File, Frequently Asked Questions, and Customer Success resource page for further details and help navigating and learning about the experience.

Warning: As of August 31, 2025, the Legacy Grantee Portal (also known as IGAM) will no longer be available or supported. We encourage you to begin using the Applicant & Grantee Portal. A series of resources and help files regarding this new module may be found here.

Features that are in progress

While all customers are strongly encouraged to begin using the new Portal straightaway, there are a small number of specific enhancements planned for release that are not yet available, so please bookmark this page to track details and timelines. To review new features as they're made available, review What's New.

  • In Progress Applications Reporting - Pending Release

  • Invitations - Pending Release

    • The ability to send application invitations to specific organizations or people and have it be completed by only those users. Replaces the ability to password-protect an application.

  • Outcomes - Q3

    • For customers using the Outcomes module, the ability to include Outcomes on new forms.

Legacy (IGAM) features that aren't moving to Applicant and Grantee Portal

Some Legacy (IGAM) features are considered out-of-scope for the completion of the Applicant and Grantee Portal, and are listed below:

  • The ability to re-use the same field multiple times on a form.

  • Any Scholarships features - this includes Recommenders.

Other capabilities, requiring a slightly different approach or alternatives to accomplish Legacy (IGAM) tasks in a similar way in the Applicant and Grantee Portal when available, can be found here.

Note: To request integration of these features, you can add or vote on ideas in the Blackbaud Grantmaking Community. Based on demand, our strategy may shift.
