Grant Support

IGEN is making the transition to “Zengine”, a cloud-based grants management platform. This full life-cycle, cloud-based, grants management software will give our colleges and IGEN one system that will handle member and project applications, invoicing, and reporting processes. Zengine will give colleges all the information they need about their awards in one place, and help IGEN measure impact and outcomes. https://auth.zenginehq.com/users/login
