AI agents · Phoenix Copilot
Most assistants stop at the documentation
Copilot answers how-to questions from the docs, the way any of them do. Then it keeps going: it queries your live data, analyses the whole set rather than a sample, and builds the report you described out of what it found.
“Show me which forms people abandon and why” is not a documentation question. It is a data question, and it comes back with a report you can keep.
See how reporting and Copilot work- It knows which screen you are on
- The questions it offers change with where you are. On a form it suggests reports worth building from that form; on a report it offers to break that report down.
- Every number is looked up, not recalled
- It knows nothing about your programs except what it queries while answering. Counts run across the whole dataset rather than the page you are looking at, so they are exact.
- It builds what you describe
- A report, a new section on a form, a status change across a set of applicants. You describe the outcome and it does the work, showing you the result before it lands.
- It knows the product, too
- Ask how to do something and it answers from the documentation with its sources, so nobody has to leave what they are doing to go hunting.

FAQ
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, AI-powered scoring and plagiarism detection, 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?
AI runs across the platform: GPT-Zero-powered plagiarism detection flags potentially dishonest applications, automated quantitative scoring reduces manual review workload, and smart assistance helps staff draft emails and content. These tools support the committee review workflow rather than replacing it.
CommunityForce replaced four separate tools for us. The unified platform saved our team dozens of hours each review cycle and gave us a single source of truth for all our awards data.
