Grant management for Canadian public programs.

ProtoGrants is for program administrators, reviewers and finance staff who need application evidence and human decisions connected in Microsoft Dataverse. It is grant administration software, not a grant-search or funding application service.

A team seeking a standalone form with no Microsoft administration, or a ready-made connection to every finance system, should compare a simpler hosted service or agree the integration scope first.

The managed app needs a licensed Dataverse environment and an administrator who can import solutions and assign roles. Public submissions require a Power Pages site and appropriate capacity. Existing Microsoft 365 licences alone do not establish these entitlements.

Your program team supplies approved eligibility rules, forms, review authority, retention decisions and acceptance criteria. Your IT team confirms identity, environments and access. Migration requires agreed source exports, field mapping, cleansing and reconciliation before cutover.

Separate product licensing, implementation, Microsoft licences, migration, integrations and optional support in the agreed proposal. A demonstration does not establish production readiness or legal compliance.

When forms, attachments, decisions and payments travel through separate channels, applicants lose context and staff rebuild the record by hand.

A stronger service keeps the program guide, application, evidence, correspondence, decision and financial reference attached to the same case history.

Canadian public buyers may require English and French service, accessible digital journeys, clear privacy responsibilities and evidence about where data and operations reside.

ProtoGrants treats these as release evidence and program configuration questions. The requirement must be proven for the specific buyer and deployment rather than implied by the platform.

Dataverse, Power Pages and Power Platform provide governed records, identity options, workflow and Microsoft integration. Many grant solutions can make the same platform claim.

The differentiator is the operating model built on top: a recoverable applicant path, reconstructable human decisions and a procurement evidence pack tied to each release.

The Microsoft Marketplace listing describes a managed Dataverse app with application records, evidence and decision forms, a reviewer workspace, and finance or reconciliation status fields.

Public applicant portals, program configuration, integrations, migration, bilingual delivery, accessibility acceptance and production support are separate implementation scope. Payment routing fields do not execute a payment. Demonstration scores are stored examples; the package includes no AI resource.
