Grant tracking checklist
- Every open opportunity has one named owner.
- Deadlines include internal review dates, not just the funder's date.
- Award letters are read for reporting dates the day they arrive.
- Required documents are listed before drafting starts.
- Renewal dates are on the calendar a full cycle ahead.
Board report outline
- Funds raised against goal, with one sentence on why.
- Grants submitted, awarded and at risk this period.
- Program reach and activity, aggregate only.

Find the work between your systems
- List every export someone runs more than once a month.

- Ask which report takes longest to build, and why.
- Pick the single hand-off that would save the most hours.
