Knight Foundation Expedites Process With Fluxx Grants Management Software

Knight Foundation Brings Unprecedented Value to Smaller Grantees

Dan Schoenfeld, former Director of Grants Administration at Knight, is not content to rest on his laurels. He had a nagging suspicion that he could figure out a way to make the foundation’s grantmaking processes even more efficient for a subset of his grantees. See how Knight is able to process a grant on a Monday morning and a check can be ready by Monday afternoon for some of the foundation's smaller grantees. 

• 30 program staff

• 2-step expedited grant process

• 24 hour grant lifecycle

• 184 grants totaling $16M in 1.5 years

“It’s literally two steps,” Schoenfeld said of the expedited grant process. “These grants can be done on a Monday morning and a check can be ready by Monday afternoon.”
