Abila Software simplifies grant reporting so that you can position your nonprofit to be more successful in being awarded government and foundation grants. The right technology can reduce your administrative workload and help to improve your relationship with valued contributors.
Tracking reporting deadlines: Create a master calendar with the deadline dates for interim and final reports for each grant you receive. Grant Management software will help you coordinate your workload and know what special tasks are coming up in the months ahead. You can also create internal deadlines to give your staff advance notice of the components they are responsible for. Most of all, you don’t want your funders to have to remind you that a report is due. Worse yet, you don’t want to be told that you’re holding up their audit because you didn’t submit a report on time.
Producing financial reports: Most grant reports will require both narrative and financial sections. They update a grant maker on the progress you made with the deliverables you proposed and provide a budget to confirm that funds were spent as projected. With the right software, you’ll have all the information at your fingertips already categorized by the budget line items you need instead of being caught scrambling at the last minute.
Improving donor relations: Your relationship with your donors is one of your most important assets. Technology makes it easier to stay in touch and demonstrate your excellence. That increases the chances of renewed support. Plus, grant makers often ask each other for feedback and recommendations so you’ll be generating good word of mouth.
