Configure contracts
Contracts require grantee signatures and can be assigned to successful applications. See the Contracts guide for configuration, assignment, and management steps.
Apply grant status
Grant status shows where an application sits in the grant cycle. Good Grants includes default statuses — customise these or create new ones as needed. See the Grant status article for instructions.
Configure a payment schedule
Track and manage payment schedules for funding allocations. View which grantees are funded, amounts, dates, allocation and outstanding balances.
Default payment methods include bank transfer, wire transfer, SWIFT transfer and cheque. Configure additional methods like Venmo or PayPal in a few steps. See the Payment tracking guide for full instructions.
Configure a grant report
Grant reports monitor grantee progress and milestone achievement. They're configured like application forms with distinct differences. See the Grant reporting guide for full details.
Allocate funds
Match budgeted money with recipients. See the Fund management overview guide for instructions.
