Altum

Despite best intentions, the research funding and grants-management process today is a complex mishmash of projects, processes, and people. This makes it difficult to see funding efforts, let alone understand and optimize their impact. Enter Altum. This transformational software company has built a research administration platform that empowers funders, connects the research community, and extends the impact of grant-making long beyond the award. So we partnered with this ambitious organization to give their vision the right visual vocabulary, their initiatives the right words, and their aspirations the right runway. The concept that oriented our efforts: Open. So what does Open look like? From immediate access into a vast ecosystem of potential grant partners, to deeper integrations and a focus on making funding and impact easier to see, Altum is focused on unlocking the research community and creating opportunities like never before. And by cultivating an approach—and a brand—that’s more intelligent, empowering, and Open than ever before, we’ve prepared Altum for everything research and innovation can and will become in the years and decades to come.
