Grant tracking
Grant tracking software that is not a second system.
Grant tracking software should follow the award, not open as a second system. Grantis keeps outcomes, due dates, and closeout on the same grant record the program already defined.
The stall
Grant tracking software opened after the money is how dates get lost.
The program said one thing. The award file says another. The report has to invent a third.
Grant tracking software is often sold as a separate layer: a place to log progress after the money has gone out. That split is the stall. Three documents describe the same award, and none of them agree.
When dates live in a personal inbox, a new staff member cannot see what is next. Late work is a surprise in the week before the board packet, not a fact on the file.
The hold
Tracking is the award side of the program you already set.
In Grantis, tracking is Compliance and Outcome Tracking. Foundations set required outcomes and due dates for awardees, then monitor progress and completion. Those dates are the ones set when the program was created, now attached to a funded grant.
Tasks and reminders use the dates on the record. Documents sit with the same file. If you also need the report that comes out of this tracking, that is the document and reporting hub. Tracking feeds reporting. It should not be retyped into it.
- Required outcomes on the award
- Due dates carried from the program
- Progress and completion through closeout
- Reminders from award to closeout
- Documents stored with the same file
Who it is for
For foundations that make awards and then have to watch them.
Program officers who currently keep that calendar in a personal inbox. Foundations that need outcomes, dates, and closeout visible to the team, not to one person.
It is not a product for a nonprofit to track every grant it received from every funder. The foundation that made the award owns the tracking in Grantis. If the stall is the packet, start with grant reporting. If it is the requirement layer, start with grant compliance.
Before you write us
Other places the year breaks
Best grant management software
Most roundups assume an open call. What “best” means if you invite applicants and need the year on one record.
Grantmaker software
Funder-side software: the foundation that makes the award, not the nonprofit that received it.
GivingData alternative
For foundations that invite applicants and want the year on one record. Not a clone, not a login.
Blackbaud Grantmaking alternative
When the suite is larger than the year you run. Invitation-only grantmaker software, quoted, not a clone.
Foundant alternative
Not a login. For foundations that invite applicants and want the year on one record.
Grants management
The year lives in email, a drive, and a spreadsheet. A grants management system puts the program, the decision, and the report on one record.
Grant compliance
A compliance binder that drifts from the award letter cannot prove what happened. Requirements and completion stay on the file.
Grant reporting
Export, retype, hope the totals match. Packets should come from the file you already keep, not a second year of work.
Nonprofit grant management
For foundations that invite the nonprofits they fund. Not software for a nonprofit tracking grants it received.
Grant review
Scores that live in a side form never make the board packet. Assignment, rubric, and decision stay on the grant.
Invitation-only grants
An open apply page fills the queue with people you did not choose. You invite who applies.
