WHAT IS GEMS?

GEMS Grant Easy Management Software is an all-in-one solution to grow grant revenues through centralized whole-lifecycle administration- from prospecting and writing, to reporting and close-out. GEMS was developed by a grant writer for grant writers: Founder & CEO Rachel Waterman saw her team heading for burnout and realized the firm needed a way to manage more with less stress, while building capacity and institutional memory. GEMS is the answer!
