Fund management overview
Good Grant's fund management feature helps grant managers control the allocation of funds to successful applicants, from one or more funds/budgets.
Create a fund
Multiple funds can be created to manage different grant sources.
- Go to Grants > Funds
- Click New fund
- Give the fund a name and optional description
- Set the fund currency and budget limit
- Save
In the funds list view, you will always have an overview of the total funds currently allocated per fund and the remaining available budget.
Note: funds are not seasonal, they persist independently of the season. If you have e.g. an annual grant budget, you can create a new fund budget each year, naming it accordingly.
