Every grant, every tranche, every report — on time

A grant application runs from research to the funder’s decision. Once awarded, it keeps its tranches — when each is expected and what releases it — and the reports the funder requires, the next due date driving the reminders.

Who uses it

  • Grant writer
  • Programme manager
  • Finance

What it does

  • Applications with the funder, the kind of funder, the programme, the amount requested and the submission deadline.
  • The decision: the amount awarded, the agreement signed, or why it was not funded.
  • Tranches: expected on, released when, and received on — only once it is seen in the bank.
  • Reports: each one the funder requires with its due date, written, signed off and sent by a workflow.
  • Restricted or not: a restricted grant is marked so it is reported apart from unrestricted funds.
  • Programmes as projects with tracking categories and budgets against actuals.

How it works

  1. Open the application.
  2. Record the award and agreement.
  3. Expect each tranche.
  4. Send each report.

The controls that protect it

  • The next report’s due date drives the reminders.

What it does not do (yet)

  • The grant agreement is starter wording that your organisation reviews before use.
