Grant programmes are becoming more complex, and managing them with spreadsheets and email simply isn’t sustainable.

Grant management software helps organisations centralise applications, reviews, decisions, payments and reporting in one secure platform, making the entire grant lifecycle easier to manage.

In our latest article, we break down:
✅ What grant management software is
✅ How it works across the full grant lifecycle
✅ The key benefits for funders and administrators

Learn what grant management software is and how centralised systems help funders, foundations and programmes manage applications, assessments, payments and reporting more effectively.

For UK and EU funders, compliance is moving centre stage. From AI regulation to data governance and cybersecurity, the rules shaping how grants are awarded and monitored are changing fast.

✅ AI Act (EU): obligations for general-purpose AI models from Aug 2025, and high-risk AI systems from 2026.

✅ Data Act (EU): applicable from Sep 2025, strengthening rights to data portability and cloud exit.

✅ Procurement Act (UK): in force since Feb 2025, introducing new transparency requirements.

✅ Accessibility: WCAG 2.2 and the European Accessibility Act (Jun 2025) set higher inclusion standards.

✅ Cybersecurity: NIS2 (2024) and the Cyber Resilience Act (2026–2027) raise the bar for digital product security.

✅ Identity: eIDAS 2.0 and the EU Digital Wallet (2026) will transform login and verification.

At AIMS, we design systems that are audit-ready, accessible, and secure — so funders can stay compliant without slowing down.
