GovGrants® Achieves Milestone by Joining California's Software Licensing Program Marketplace

GovGrants® Now Available on California's Software Licensing Program Marketplace

REI Systems has announced an exciting development in its ongoing commitment to improving grants management across the United States. As of July 1, 2025, GovGrants®, the company’s leading grants management platform, is officially listed on the California Software Licensing Program (SLP) marketplace. This recognition signifies a vital step in enhancing the experience of state and local agencies in managing grants efficiently and effectively.

Transforming Grant Management Across California

GovGrants® has already made a significant impact on various agencies in California. Notably, the platform has revolutionized grantmaking processes, yielding impressive results for organizations such as the San Diego Economic Development Department, the California Department of Education (CDE), the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission. By implementing GovGrants®, California agencies have experienced transformative changes and measurable improvements in their operations.

In San Diego, for example, the introduction of GovGrants® led to a remarkable 33% increase in the number of applications submitted for grants. More importantly, it achieved a drastic 25% reduction in the number of incomplete or incorrect applications. Perhaps most noteworthy, the grant award cycle time shrunk from an average of four months to just two weeks. This efficiency enhancement has not only aided city staff but also reduced the workload for applicants and reviewers, reflecting the thoughtful design and user-centric approach of the platform.

At the California Department of Education, GovGrants® has been instrumental in creating a streamlined grants infrastructure that promotes efficiency and accuracy. The department has reported reductions in the administrative burden for grantees, providing enhanced visibility into budgets and expenditures. In addition, there has been less effort required for cross-division reporting, improved accuracy of data, and faster application reviews, which have all helped reduce unnecessary back-and-forth communications.

A Commitment to Public Sector Efficiency

Wagish Bhartiya, Chief Growth Officer at REI Systems, emphasized the importance of this certification, stating, "Being added to the California SLP is a significant step toward helping more public sector grant programs operate with greater efficiency, transparency, and accountability. GovGrants has already proven its value in California—cutting the grant award process from four months to just two weeks in San Diego, and easing administrative burdens at the California Department of Education. We're excited to expand these benefits statewide, empowering more agencies to deliver results that truly matter to their communities." This underscores REI Systems' commitment to supporting public agencies in their missions.

Robust Features of GovGrants®

Built on a FedRAMP-certified Salesforce platform, GovGrants® is a comprehensive Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that manages the entire lifecycle of grants—from planning, announcements, and application reviews to awards, compliance, and closeout. The platform includes low-code workflows, which allow for high customization without the need for extensive coding knowledge, making it accessible for various user levels. It also integrates robust financial systems and automates many of the processes that were previously manual, saving time and resources.

Moreover, GovGrants® equips agencies with powerful reporting and analytics capabilities, aiding them in measuring their impact and fulfilling compliance requirements. As such, the tool not only encourages efficiency but also ensures that agencies can effectively track and report on their grant activities and outcomes.
