Submittable vs Figma

About

Submittable is a grants and social impact management platform founded in 2010 and headquartered in Missoula, Montana. Originally built as a submissions management tool for literary magazines and creative organizations, Submittable evolved into a comprehensive platform for managing grant applications, corporate social responsibility programs, scholarship disbursements, and community impact initiatives. Its mission is to help organizations deploy resources efficiently and generate measurable social impact at scale.\n\nThe platform provides end-to-end tools for grant program design, applicant intake, review workflows, decision management, reporting, and payment disbursement. Submittable serves foundations, nonprofits, corporations, and government agencies running structured giving or scholarship programs that require managing high volumes of applications with diverse reviewer teams. In August 2024, Submittable acquired WizeHive, a competing grants management platform, significantly expanding its customer base and capabilities in the nonprofit and higher education segments.\n\nSubmittable reached $66.6 million in revenue in 2024, a 35.9% year-over-year increase driven by organic growth and the WizeHive acquisition. The company serves over 11,000 customers and has raised $74.6 million in total funding, employing approximately 230 people. Submittable competes with Fluxx, Salesforce Nonprofit, and Blackbaud in the grants management category. Its strong growth rate in a previously underpenetrated vertical and the strategic acquisition of a direct competitor demonstrate execution discipline and clear category consolidation ambitions.
