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.

  1. In the Manage workspace, go to Grants > Funds
  2. Click New fund
  3. Give the fund a name and optional description
  4. Set the fund currency and budget limit
  5. 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.

Allocate funds

Individually via the manager's application view 

  1. From the Manage workspace, navigate to Applications
  2. Find and click on an application to allocate funds to
  3. Open the 'Grant' tab
  4. Under the 'Fund allocation' heading, click Add allocation
  5. Select the Fund to allocate from and enter the Amount

Tip: you can make multiple allocations to an application from the same or different funds.

Individually via the Applications list view

  1. In the Manage workspace, go to Applications
  2. Locate the application you need to allocate funds to
  3. Click the overflow menu (three dots icon)
  4. Select Allocate funds
    Allocate funds in overflow menu
  5. Choose your desired fund and indicate the amount

In bulk

  1. In the Manage workspace, go to Applications
  2. Locate the applications you need to allocate funds to and select their corresponding checkboxes
  3. Open the Action drop-down
  4. Select Allocate funds
    Allocate funds in Action drop-down
  5. Choose your desired fund and indicate the amount
  6. Confirm
Tip: you can add a 'Fund allocations' column to the Applications list view in the Manage workspace by clicking the cog icon. 
Note: tags added to applications via Grants > Allocations will display alongside the allocation in the manager's view of the application, not the application tags. 

Delete an allocation

You may need to delete an allocation that was created during testing or for some other reason. You can delete either an entire allocated amount or an individual payment. 

Delete an entire allocation

  1. In the Manage workspace, navigate to Grants > Allocations
  2. Click the ellipsis (three dots) next to an allocation

Fund allocation reports

  • For an overview and reporting on allocations made, go to Grants > Allocations
  • You can search and filter allocations, e.g. by category, fund, or tag (from tags on an entry)
  • You can tag allocated applications from the Grants > Allocations view to better manage your program
  • Export an Excel or CSV report of allocations from top right below the search control
    Note: exports will always follow the search and filter selection currently active.

Payment tracking

Once funds have been allocated to a successful grantee, you can track their payments via Grants > Payments in the Manage workspace. For more information on tracking grant payments, see our dedicated guide: Payment tracking
