3 Introduction It s a challenging time for nonprofit organizations. The Great Recession has dealt a double blow; there is more need in every community and less overall funding to help organizations deliver programs. Although 80% of nonprofit leaders anticipated greater demand for services in 2010, less than half believed their organizations would be able to meet this demand. Funding shortages and the resulting staff cutbacks simply won t allow most nonprofits to meet heavy demand for services. In the past two years, the total grant dollars awarded have fallen, and according to Foundation Center records, the 8.4% decline in 2009 was the largest ever recorded. By early 2010, nearly two-thirds of nonprofit organizations were operating with less than three months of cash; 12% had no cash reserves left. In this fundraising environment, it s important to ensure that your organization is operating as efficiently as possible to keep costs low, and pursuing all appropriate sources of additional funding. For many grant-funded organizations, acquiring, managing, and reporting on grants is a time consuming and inefficient, yet vital, part of operations. Grantees face increased competition to win grants and are striving to provide additional financial accountability and success measures to grantors. Organizations who apply for new grants in fits and spurts (often after losing a grant renewal) can quickly find themselves in a serious cash flow crunch. To smooth out funding, organizations need to continuously apply for new grants and carefully manage the relationships with existing grantors. Fortunately, today s grant management technology enables you to automate processes so that you can efficiently and effectively apply for and win more grants, demonstrate performance to earn more grant renewals, and manage every stage of the grant life-cycle, from application to budgeting, reporting, and final close-out. Grant management technology also saves time, so you and your team can focus more energy on your organization s mission and less on paperwork. Why Grant Management Takes Too Much Time In most nonprofits, organizational leaders and talented staff members spend too much time poring over spreadsheets in order to track grant applications and deadlines, create budgets, allocate funds and report on performance. Using spreadsheets to manage grants can be inefficient, error-prone and labor intensive. That s a lot of administration time spent for each grant, and it is troubling for three reasons. First, a grant application process that takes nearly a full work week means that many organizations will lack sufficient time and staff to win enough grants. Second, if organizations are unable to focus on measuring success, reporting performance, and developing a good relationship with grantors, it diminishes the likelihood that existing grants will be renewed. Finally, time wasted in an inefficient grant management processes actually diminishes the net worth of the grant, if it is received. In the aptly titled report, Drowning in Paperwork, Distracted from Purpose, Project Streamline acknowledged that: In CEP s [Center for Effective Philanthropy] data, the average amount of time spent on the grant proposal creation and application/ selection process is hours per grant, with a median of 20 hours. Reporting and evaluation receive considerably less attention: nonprofits indicate that they spend an average of hours on foundation-required reporting, with a median of 10 hours. 4 1 Nonprofit Finance Fund 2010 State of the Sector Survey 2 Grant-Making Plummeted 8.4% During 2009, NonProfit Times, April 19, Nonprofit Finance Fund 2010 State of the Sector Survey 4 Jessica Bearman, Drowning in Paperwork, Distracted from Purpose: Challenges and Opportunities in Grant Application and Reporting, Project Streamline, p12. 1
4 Improve Productivity with Grant Management Software What makes grant seeking so time consuming? Most grant-funded nonprofit organizations need more than one grant to operate. So they have to interact with multiple grantors and each grantor usually has its own application guidelines, questions, and requirements. Grantors may award funds at different times of year. Nearly all grantors require financial and demographic reporting from organizations to demonstrate mission performance. But the way grantors wish to view that data may be different for each grant. Grant management technology can help organizations apply for grants, track and receive funds, budget, and report success measures in order to win more grants and receive grant renewals. Grant-management software automates your grant application process, reminding you of critical due dates and managing key documents so you have easy access to important information. You can check your budget to ensure that existing grant funds are fully used, and forecast expenditures for remaining periods within a grant. With grant management software, you can enable your entire team to share a view of all activity related to a given grant to foster better collaboration. Everyone can understand the budget, expenditures and performance results related to a grant. Having the right software means you won t have to wait when you need answers, so you can act quickly and decisively on the issues that are important to your organization. Win More Funding by Managing the Grant Pipeline For grant-seeking organizations, it s useful to think of grant funding as a pipeline. You ve got to put the right amount of applications in one side of the pipeline in order to win grants that produce adequate funding on the other side. A steady flow is preferable and more reliable than a torrent of new funding followed by months of a dry, empty pipeline. To keep your organization well-funded, you need a steady supply of grants in each stage of the grant lifecycle application, distribution, and renewal. The Grant Management Pipeline Grant Renewals New Funds Reminders Completed Applications Success Measures Full Reporting 2
5 The Premier Provider of Effective Business Software Solutions National Presence, Local Touch BLYTHE There are two key factors in winning grants: The ability to complete on-time, accurate grant applications and to demonstrate past mission performance. Good grant management solutions support both functions. Apply for Grants More Easily As we ve already discussed, grant management technology can help keep you on track with application deadlines by alerting you to important dates. It can also help you see across the entire grant pipeline to ensure that you re applying for enough grants now to satisfy future funding needs. And grant management solutions make the application process itself much easier, by consolidating and storing all of the relevant information in one centralized database for easy access to grant information, program details, performance measurements, and key contacts. Show Grantors Why Your Organization is Most Deserving There are two key factors in winning grants: The ability to complete on-time, accurate grant applications and to demonstrate past mission performance. Good grant management solutions support both functions. Accuracy and accountability can give you the edge when the competition for a grant is steep. Accurate forecasting and measurement help you back up your proposal with hard data that shows grantors exactly what you can accomplish with the funds. By using technology to precisely track past budgets and results, you know exactly how much you will need in the future, and you can outbid other organizations that aren t able to show effectiveness on such a detailed level. By collecting data and reporting on success metrics, your organization can easily demonstrate its positive impact to grantors, individual donors and the public in general. If your organization is fortunate enough to win matching grants, you ll want to maximize the funding you receive for these programs. To do so, it s critical to identify, track and report on individual donations, so that your organization receives the full amount of matching funds. If your grant management software integrates to a good fund accounting and/or fundraising system, it will record the source and history of incoming donations, so it s easy to identify donations eligible for matching funds. Improve Budget Management Budget tracking is crucial to ensuring that your organization fully uses the grant funding received while observing restrictions. If you don t fully expend the funds, you face losing future funding; if you overspend, you must find additional funding to cover the overage. A grant management solution frees you from manual budget monitoring and helps keep your organization in a positive light from the point of view of your grantors. Useful grant management budgeting features include: Budget building tools by items or dollars for budgeting different types of grants, the ability to quickly create pro-forma budgets to include in grant applications, and integration with your financial accounting solution. When you choose a grant management solution that integrates with your accounting system, budget information related to individual grants can be incorporated into your overall organizational budgets and financial reports. 4 Jessica Bearman, Drowning in Paperwork, Distracted from Purpose: Challenges and Opportunities in Grant Application and Reporting, Project Streamline, p12. 3
6 Track and Manage Allocations Most grant-funded organizations have more than one source of funding and many run multiple programs. When costs or incomes are associated with multiple funds or programs, it is necessary to spread them across multiple programs in a fair and consistent way. To do this, grant-funded organizations must perform allocation calculations and record allocations in the general ledger, so that accurate financial records can be maintained. If you select an accounting system designed specifically for grant-funded organizations, you can pre-set allocation limits imposed by your grantor, so you can avoid exceeding contractual indirect cost limits. Allocation management also allows you to apply the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Cost Principles, distributing costs to federal grants with accuracy and consistency. When it is time for auditor review, you ll be able to provide audit-ready reports to support allocated costs. To ensure your grant pipeline is flowing at maximum capacity with the highest level of efficiency, select a grant management solution that addresses the complete grant lifecycle. It should include integrated financial analysis and budgeting, contact management, collaboration tools, document management, success tracking, and performance reporting. Achieve Greater Collaboration With a grant management solution, your organization can enjoy greater transparency across programs as well as easier access to meaningful reporting. You can quickly check on how each program is performing against relevant grant objectives, or instantly review the actual expenditures versus the budget for each grant. Better reporting and analysis facilitates more informed executive decision-making. And when you can share this information across your organization, it is easier for members of your team to collaborate with each other and achieve mission success. Centralized Storage of Grant-Related Documents A good grant management solution should include electronic document management to help you organize and secure important grant records. There are many details and documents to track with every grant: applications and proposals, contact information, reporting periods, and indirect cost rate. Document management provides a centralized, electronic file-storage system in which you can store all documentation for each grant and quickly access and share the information whenever you need it. Easy and In-Depth Reporting Whether you need a report to share with your staff, your grantors, your board of directors, or even an outside auditor, having grant management software means the information you need is literally at your fingertips. Failing to follow grant-specific reporting requirements can jeopardize current grant funding or prevent your organization from earning a grant renewal. Multiple grants with unique reporting periods can confuse even the most competent, organized staff. Grant management software simplifies the procedures of reporting, enabling you to produce financial updates and reports on success measures quickly and easily, as well as track grant spending across multiple fiscal years. Look for a solution that offers out of the box reporting with built-in charting plus scoreboards that track your progress and successes. To ensure your grant pipeline is flowing at maximum capacity with the highest level of efficiency, select a grant management solution that addresses the complete grant lifecycle. It should include integrated financial analysis and budgeting, contact management, collaboration tools, document management, success tracking, and performance reporting. 4
7 On Demand Performance Information It s easy to lose track of the big picture when you re working through the busy day-to-day tasks of delivering services. But to ensure that your programs are successful and to protect future funding, it is critical to be able to access a high-level view of performance and share it with other members of the team. If your grant management solution includes business intelligence tools, such as realtime dashboards, you can get a quick, graphical representation of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) anytime. By keeping an eye on success metrics, your team can improve collaboration on projects and ensure that your organization is performing well enough to secure new grants as well as renewals. Earn More Grant Renewals To earn renewal of continuing grants, nonprofits must be able to collect and report on success measures. Financial success measures enable grant makers to determine where their funding provides the greatest impact. To increase the benefit of their contributions, grantors choose not to renew grants for organizations that cannot adequately demonstrate performance. Renewals are important because continuing grants allow your organization to build a lasting relationship with important grantors and to work in cooperation with grantors to build sustainable programs. When it s time to renew your grant, technology makes it easier to show how you used each dollar, and to project your performance in the next grant year. Organization and communication are vital to maintaining healthy relationships with grantors. Missed deadlines or unreturned calls don t encourage renewed funding. Grant management solutions help you maintain an open, responsive dialog with your grantors by providing your development department with contact information, success metrics, expenditure details, deadline alerts, and in-depth reporting. With effective grant management, no detail will be overlooked and neither will your organization when it s time for grant renewal decisions. When it s time to renew your grant, technology makes it easier to show how you used each dollar, and to project your performance in the next grant year. 5

Grant management software can help members of your organization apply for new grants, receive grant funds, budget, track and report on success measures, manage grant-related documents, develop lasting relationships with grantors, and earn grant renewals. By effectively managing the grant pipeline, a grant management solution can help ensure that your organization applies for enough grants to fund its mission and to provide a stable cashflow.
