What It Is

ProGrant is cloud-based grant, fund, and programme management software developed and supported by Intouch Business (UK) LLP. It is primarily aimed at NGOs, international charities, universities, and public-sector organizations. The platform emphasizes Visibility, Traceability, Connectivity, and Reporting, and is used to manage restricted funds, large grant programmes, budgets, KPIs, documents, and donor reporting. According to its website, ProGrant has managed more than £500m in funding in NGO scenarios.

Core Features and Integrations

The product covers grant and fund management, budget and KPI management, programme/project tracking, multi-currency support, document storage, dashboards, and reporting. The budgeting module supports multiple versions, cash flow, plan-vs-actual comparisons, and more. The project module supports tracking of tasks, milestones, risks, issues, and compliance. Reporting features include configurable dashboards, drill-down to transaction-level details, plan/actual analysis, and donor reports. For integrations, ProGrant supports Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID SSO, Google authentication, and connections to Infor SunSystems, Proactis, accounting-system reports, and internal systems. Custom integrations are also supported.

Pricing and Deployment

ProGrant uses a monthly SaaS model with no long-term contract commitment, and states that customers can take their data with them at any time. The Premium plan is designed for organizations with 2-10 people; the pricing page lists a Free Plan at £0 ex VAT GBP for 2 user licences. The Enterprise plan is for organizations with more than 30 users or those requiring custom development and system integrations, and requires a quote. Elsewhere in the copy, however, there are references to a minimum of 4 users/month and an Enterprise minimum of 10 users/month, so the public pricing information is somewhat inconsistent. Deployment is clearly stated as being on Microsoft Azure in the cloud, with no self-hosted option found.

Pros, Cons, and Who It Is For

ProGrant’s strengths are its strong vertical focus and its coverage of the full grant lifecycle, from budgeting, execution, expenditure, and KPIs to audit and reporting. Multi-currency support, audit trails, and drill-down reporting make it suitable for international NGOs, while Azure hosting and SSO are helpful for distributed global teams. The drawbacks are limited public disclosure around APIs, the permissions model, security certifications, and payment methods, as well as incomplete pricing information. Enterprise procurement will still require direct confirmation with the vendor. ProGrant is well suited to charities that need to manage multiple donors, multi-country projects, restricted funds, and strict reporting requirements. If you only need general project management or generic finance software, it may be more specialized than necessary.

Access from China and Alternatives

The official website does not provide information on access from China, a Chinese interface, local payment methods, or China-specific compliance, so its accessibility from China should be considered unknown. Because it relies on overseas cloud services, Google/Microsoft login, or external integrations, China-based teams should test network connectivity, SSO availability, payment options, and cross-border data requirements before deployment. International alternatives include Fluxx, Blackbaud Grantmaking, SmartSimple, and Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud. In China, organizations could consider customized alternatives using Weaver, DingTalk/YiDA, or Feishu Bitable combined with a finance system.
