Optimize Your Grant Management System With A Spring Cleaning

While most people focus their spring cleaning on sweeping out the old and clearing the garage, your grant and impact management system likely deserves that same level of care.

Start by cleaning out profile management. Deactivate agencies that never finished their applications, duplicate programs, and volunteers who haven’t participated in years. Keeping your database in order makes it much easier to find the people who actually matter to your current mission.

Next, freshen up your funding records. How many investments are listed and active on your agencies’ sites? Close out processes from years ago and ensure all award data is up to date so you can easily track spending trends over time. Take a moment to delete old, unused application forms and update any report questions that feel outdated. Categorizing these elements now will lead to much more powerful and organized reporting later in the year.

Finally, make sure you are using your data and your system to their full potential. Identify the key insights you need and save those report templates so you don’t have to rebuild them every time. If you haven’t explored all the automation or communication tools available, now is the opportunity to take a look.
