6 ways Instrumentl can help you easily collaborate with your grant team and manage your projects

1

Separate your projects and stay organized. Projects are like your workspaces that contain two components: saved searches and saved grants. Projects typically map to ongoing program areas at an organization. Each week, you'll get an email with new matching opportunities for your projects.

The opportunity is funded by Horne Family Charitable Foundation and located in the United States. A section shows a 990 Snapshot with past grantees and funder location. To the right, a project tracker interface shows the project Animal Advocacy with tasks listed including Milestone Check with Tonya on May 7, 2022, Submission Review on May 28, 2022, and Submission Checking in on May 31, 2022, with options to add, edit, or delete tasks.

Easily divide ownership within your team, regardless of how big it is. Use Instrumentl as an up-to-date, single source of truth when collaborating on grants in your organization. By default, each account has an owner and three users, but you can easily invite more if needed.

If you're an independent consultant, you can easily manage clients from within your account using Client Profiles. You’ll receive better location matches, and your tracker and reports will reflect your client’s fiscal year. Not only that, but you can switch between your clients without juggling multiple logins.

A client profiles table listing three foundations: Nue Foundation with location in several California counties including Alameda and San Francisco, fiscal year January 1 to December 31; Triad Foundation in several Pennsylvania counties including Allegheny and Beaver, fiscal year July 1 to June 30; Partners in Environmental Justice in Maryland counties including Calvert and Charles, fiscal year October 1 to September 30. Each row has edit and delete icons. A green button labeled Add a Profile is at the top right.
Screenshot of a saved grant opportunity for the Latham Foundation for the Promotion of Humane Education showing a predicted deadline of July 10, 2022, grant amount between $5,000 and $15,000, related fields of work, and applicant type organizations. Project details on the right include Business Engagement as the project, 2022 as the year, and Serena Blair as the owner. Notes mention talking to Steve about his contact. Below, a table lists the grant with deadline July 10, 2022, owner initials SB, and status marked as Planned.

For every grant in your tracker, select an owner to clarify who is responsible for leading the opportunity. You can easily create tasks for your custom milestones, such as reporting deadlines or draft due dates, to keep you and your team on track.

5

Are your documents scattered across multiple Google Drive folders and it's challenging for you to manage access? With Instrumentl's Document Library, you can keep all your grant documents stored, organized, and easily accessible in one place so your team has a single source of truth.

Screenshot of a saved grant tracker for Environmental Protection; Wildlife Preservation - Animal Welfare by Horne Family Charitable Foundation, showing deadlines, grant amount $5,000 to $25,000, fields of work, applicant type nonprofit, and a 990 tax filing snapshot with past grantees, median grant amount, and funder address. The right side displays project info set to Animal Advocacy, a notes box, status marked as Researching, tasks section, and documents upload area with files named category.png, grant_planning.xlsx, q3-status.xlsx, and team_report.pdf.

Automatically get weekly emails with all your upcoming deadlines. Receive e-mail notifications when funders update the priority or deadline of any opportunity you have saved. Your team will never miss another grant opportunity or their task reminder again.

Multiple project fields keep me organized and I can easily drill down to see where we’re at with different portfolios. For instance, we’ve got a new initiative that recognizes the original Boise Valley people, the indigenous people. We’ve got a whole portfolio specific to that, and so it’s easy for me to keep track of possible funding opportunities specific to that project.
