AI · Phoenix
Answers when you ask. Work while you don’t.
Ask Phoenix which reviewers are behind and get the real number back from your live data. Tell it to send your Monday report and it just arrives. Open an application and find it already summarized.
One intelligence, built for awards programs. Phoenix Copilot is how you ask; Phoenix Agents are how it acts.

QForms · Also from CommunityForce
Not every process is an award
QForms is our general-purpose sibling to the awards platform — no-code forms, approval workflows and generated documents for everything else.

Questions we get asked

What is CommunityForce?
CommunityForce is an AI-powered awards management platform for grants, scholarships, fellowships and research funding. Founded in 2010, it has processed over 165 million applications and facilitated more than $569 million in awards for federal agencies, universities and foundations.
What types of awards does CommunityForce manage?
CommunityForce manages the complete lifecycle of grants, scholarships, fellowships and research funding programs — from application collection and committee review through disbursement, post-award compliance, financial management and impact reporting.
Is CommunityForce compliant with federal regulations?
Yes. CommunityForce is FedRAMP Ready, SOC 2 Type II certified, and compliant with Section 508 accessibility standards, FERPA and PCI-DSS. Grant programs are supported with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Guidance requirements built in.
How does CommunityForce differ from other awards management software?
Most platforms stop at application collection and basic review. CommunityForce covers the full lifecycle natively: dynamic form building with conditional logic, Phoenix Agents that summarize applications, flag AI-written essays and suggest scores for reviewers, automated quantitative scoring, batch disbursements, post-award tracking, group applications, external recommender workflows, and enterprise reporting with Power BI integration.
Who uses CommunityForce?
More than 200 organizations run awards programs on CommunityForce, including federal agencies, state governments, universities, community foundations and private foundations. Past performance includes program delivery for the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense.
How does CommunityForce use AI in awards management?
One intelligence — Phoenix — runs across the platform. Phoenix Copilot answers questions about your own programs and data in plain English. Phoenix Agents work on a schedule or on demand: the Summary Agent gives reviewers a plain-language picture of each applicant, the Anti-AI Agent (powered by GPTZero) flags essays that may be AI-written as a data point rather than a verdict, and the Reviewer Agent suggests answers reviewers accept, adjust or ignore. All of it supports the committee rather than replacing it, and your data is never used to train AI models.
