Company overview

Heart of Bucks is a UK-based grant-making charity founded in 2000.

The organization distributes approximately Β£2.5 million in grants each year to small, place-based charities across Buckinghamshire, supporting sectors including mental health, food banks, education, sports, and environmental initiatives.

Industry: Nonprofit

Customer Since: 2025

Product: Enterprise Suite

Features: Forms

Challenge

Grant applications did not land cleanly in Salesforce. Staff had to manually match submissions to the correct accounts and complete missing information, adding an extra step to every application.

At the same time, Heart of Bucks needed to run multiple grant programs, including those for partner foundations, but couldn’t easily customize forms or branding across each one.

As application volumes grew, this made it harder to manage programs efficiently and deliver a consistent experience across them.

Solution

Titan Enterprise Suite replaced manual intake with structured, multi-step grant applications connected to Salesforce in real time.

Heart of Bucks builds fully branded application forms for each grant program and partner foundation, allowing every program to run with its own requirements and identity.

Applicants complete an eligibility check before submitting applications, with all data written directly to Salesforce. A copy of each application is automatically generated and sent to the applicant’s email address.

Grantees submit outcomes and supporting documents through Titan, while application summaries are automatically generated for decision-makers.

Impact

Manual Intake Eliminated: Grant submission data automatically drops into Salesforce, removing a full manual step per application and allowing staff to move directly into assessment without re-keying data.

Invalid Grants Declined Early: Pop-up notifications prevent applicants from submitting disqualifying responses, reducing the number of invalid applications entering the review process.

Expanded CRM Data: More structured data capture enables the creation of additional records and improves overall data visibility.

Salesforce-Ready Data: Validation checks ensure accurate, structured data at the point of submission, reducing the need for follow-ups and manual corrections.

Application Copies Sent Automatically: A copy of each application is automatically generated and shared with the applicant, providing clear confirmation of what was submitted.

Customized Branding: Forms are tailored across different grant programs and partner foundations, allowing Heart of Bucks to support a wider range of initiatives.

 

β€œWe like the no-code aspect of Titan and also its flexibility with styling our grant applications.”
