Grant Effort Metrics. Because “We Applied for a Bunch of Grants” Is Not a Strategy.

If you have ever tried to summarize grant activity for leadership or a board, you know the moment?

You start with good intentions. You open your tracker. You scroll. And suddenly you are saying something like, “We submitted a lot. We’re waiting to hear back.”

That is not because you are not doing the work. It is because most grant offices are tracking activity without a clear way to measure performance.

So I built the missing piece.

Introducing Grant Effort Metrics

Grant Effort Metrics is a performance and forecasting framework that turns your existing grant tracking data into clear, decision-ready metrics.

It is not a grant management system. It does not replace your CRM. It does not manage submissions, store documents, or run workflow. It sits on top of what you already use and makes the work visible.

Export your grant list. Paste it into the template. Get clarity immediately.

What You Can See in Minutes

Grant Effort Metrics surfaces the numbers leaders actually ask for, without turning your tracker into a monster.

Performance

• Total proposals submitted
• Total funding requested
• Total funding awarded
• Win rate
• Average award size

Funding Outlook

• Projected awarded funding over the next 12 months
• Pending funding awaiting decisions
• Expected funding estimates based on likelihood

Stability

• Funding concentration across top funders
• Grants ending within six months
• Grants ending within twelve months

Compliance and Attention

• Next submission deadline
• Next reporting deadline
• Reports due in the next 60 days

Data Quality Checks

Built-in checks flag common issues like missing awarded amounts, missing probabilities, missing dates, and missing reporting deadlines.

The Feature That Changes Everything. The Board Summary.

Grant Effort Metrics includes a one-page Board Summary report that updates automatically.

So instead of walking into a meeting with a spreadsheet and a prayer, you can walk in with a clear, structured story.

Print it as a PDF. Drop it into a board packet. Done.

Why This Matters

Grant work is high effort by nature. It is also easy for the impact of that effort to become invisible, especially in small to midsized grants offices juggling deadlines, compliance, and turnover.

This framework helps you move from, “We are busy,” to, “Here is exactly what our grant effort is producing, what is likely next, and what needs attention right now.”

That shift builds confidence. It also makes planning possible.
