Stop Mailing Checks. Watch How Foundations Are Modernizing Grant Payments.
Grant payments are one of the most manual, risky, and underestimated workflows in foundation operations. In this webinar, Mike Scoville from akoyaGO sat down with Mitch Stein from Chariot and Colin Davis from the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi to talk about what it actually takes to move grants safely, efficiently, and at scale.
The conversation covered why grant payments carry unique risks that standard ACH and check processes weren’t built to handle, how AI is accelerating fraud in ways that catch foundations off guard, and what it looks like in practice when a foundation moves from 100% check-based payments to a modern electronic payment workflow.
Colin shared how their team went from juggling checks, ACH, and manual grant letters to routing 99% of payments electronically through Chariot since April.

Recently, we shared a conversation with The Erie Community Foundation about how real-time data and process improvements are transforming the way they work with community needs at the center.
In this interactive webinar, we explored how Erie has shifted from traditional grant reporting to post-grant meetings, enabling deeper alignment between grantee intent and foundation outcomes. You’ll hear how they’re leveraging technology through akoyaGO to streamline internal processes, gather meaningful outputs, and focus on collaboration.
