Applications come in through your form, each reviewer files their own score on the application, and every applicant sees their status without emailing to ask.
In plain English
Application management software collects applications, routes them to reviewers, records decisions and tells applicants where they stand. Grant management suites for small foundations are commonly priced from about $4,000 to $20,000 a year. Pory builds an application portal from a plain-English description, with reviewer logins, a score from each reviewer on the application, decisions with a reason and a status page for applicants, for $49 to $119 a month with unlimited applicants.

Each one reads and writes the same records, so a form, its approval and the status page someone checks are one system. How Pory builds a portal
Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.
An application page, a notice board, an open directory: pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.
Upload and view files on the record they belong to, not in a folder named FINAL v2.
Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.
“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.
Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.
A task list on each record, ticked off in its detail view, with progress shown. Use it for onboarding, inspections or opening duties.
Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.
A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note, kept on the record it belongs to.
Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.
Records as cards or photos.
Each person sees their own records, the ones assigned to them, or the ones they manage. Fields can be hidden per role. Pory sets this up from your description, and you can adjust it in the editor.
A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.
Your domain, your colors, your logo. Members see you.
Describe who it's for and what each person needs, then send the invite. Unlimited members, flat price.
