Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope is a full-cycle scholarship management platform built to support programs beyond the award. Organizations use Kaleidoscope to manage applications and review, communicate with applicants and scholars, complete selection, distribute funds, and track engagement and outcomes all in one place.
Zealous
Zealous is a cloud-based submissions management platform for any program that collects and evaluates entries: awards, competitions, grants, open calls, residencies, fairs, and commissions. One subscription covers unlimited programs, so an awards program in spring, a grant round in autumn, and a residency call in winter all run from the same dashboard, with the same login and the same support team. Entry collection, judging, payments, and results live in one place instead of spread across forms, spreadsheets, and email. Zealous is built around presentation.
