We have an existing NPSP instance and are not considering migrating to Nonprofit Cloud any time soon.
We have a business need for the Outgoing Grants module as well as the Experience Cloud functionality for grantees.
The available documentation on the Trailblazer Community, the Salesforce Help site, and Trailhead does not make a clear distinctions between the Grants Management package for NPSP vs. NPC and this is confusing.
I see on the
Salesforce.org product installer page that "Install Grants Management and Build Community" is an available package, and I ran the Pre-Install Validation check on my Partial Copy sandbox to check compatibility. It failed at the Experience Cloud-related steps because I don't currently have the licenses for that. I also ran the Pre-Install Validation for Grants Management (without the Experience Cloud part) and it also failed with a message about community plus login licenses.
Because of this, I'm not fully confident about the product's compatibility with my NPSP instance.
Link for product information on the installer site is broken.
Grants Management Documentation:
https://powerofus.force.com/s/article/GM-Documentation
When I search for documentation independently of the installer site, I find this section on the help site:
https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.grants_management.htm&language=en_US&type=5 which says "Note Salesforce offers managed package solutions for nonprofits in addition to the integrated platform solution Nonprofit Cloud. This content provides information about a nonprofit managed package. Find the Nonprofit Cloud documentation in Nonprofit Cloud. If you're not sure which version your organization uses, check with your Salesforce admin."
Is there a different link for documentation that is specific to Grants Management for NPSP? Is all of the functionality listed in the help document applicable to NPSP, or are some of the features for NPC only?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I can't explain this to my organization's staff without fully understanding it myself. They are currently considering other grant management software, and I want to give them accurate product documentation for their comparison.

@Leah Kopperman - The documentation link you posted is the correct one for the Grants Management Module that is compatible with NPSP. It's referred to as Grants Management or Grants Management Module or GMS in the documentation. The Nonprofit Cloud version is called Grantmaking in the docs.
If your org passes the Outbound Funds pre-install checks then you'll probably be okay. As Brian noted, GMM has Outbound Funds as its core. ERD showing which bits are which
is here. Note that only Outbound Funds is free. Both the Grants Management Module (managed package) and Nonprofit Cloud for Grantmaking cost and are not covered by P10 licenses.
