@GrettaKraus Wow! Thank you Gretta!

Please read below to see a note from Josh Mallamud, CEO of Foundant, SmartSimple & GivingData:

We are excited to share that Foundant and SmartSimple have joined forces with GivingData to expand our portfolio of unique grantmaking software solutions and enhance your peer community of customers.

We recognize many of you are navigating uncertainty and increased grantmaking needs so I want to clearly communicate that nothing changes for you — you will continue to use the products you know and trust and the same people who serve you today will continue to serve you.

• We will continue to invest in, and fully support, all of our products: GLM, SLM, CommunitySuite, SmartSimple, and GivingData
• You will continue to use the same products you currently use
• You will continue to be served by the same Customer Support, Customer Success and Implementation Teams

Bringing GivingData into the Foundant and SmartSimple family makes sense on many levels. Most importantly, our cultures, values and visions are highly aligned -- we share a deep commitment to going above and beyond for clients and are similarly inspired by the opportunity to help to advance your missions and contribute to the positive impact you have in your communities.
