Blind review, custom scoring rubrics, and complete audit trails. Artsumé helps foundations make fair, transparent, and defensible grant decisions.
Foundations face unique pressures: funders expect fairness, boards expect documentation, and every decision needs to be defensible.
Prominent names get preferential treatment. Without anonymization, there's no way to prove selections were merit-based.
Different reviewers apply different standards. Without structured rubrics, comparisons become subjective guesswork.
When funders or boards ask how decisions were made, you're scrambling through emails and spreadsheets.
One-click anonymization removes all identifying information. Reviewers see only the work and proposal.
Custom criteria ensure every application is evaluated against the same standards. Scores aggregate automatically.
Every score, comment, and decision is documented. Generate reports that satisfy any funder or board inquiry.
