Grants are the backbone to most nonprofit's budget. Reporting on them is mission-critical.

Whether an organization receives a reimbursable grant or a non-reimbursable grant, the same challenge remains.

You must track how every grant dollar is spent.

Expenses come from multiple programs, receipts arrive slowly, and reporting deadlines come fast. Today, that process lives across staff messages, emails, shared folders, manual expense reports, and QuickBooks tags.

Today Givefront is launching Grant Budgets, a new way to allocate and report on grant activity as it happens, without spreadsheets or manual tagging.

What Grant Tracking Solves

Whether your organization receives traditional grants or reimbursable grants, you'll ask the same questions every month:

• How much of this grant have we actually used?
• Which expenses are reimbursable?
• Where are missing receipts slowing down reporting?
• Are we on track with the funder’s budget?

Until now, those answers required digging through forms, Slack messages, and accounting categories.

With Givefront's Grant Budgets, you get a single, real-time view of each award: what’s been spent, what’s outstanding, and what reports you can generate.

How It Works

Grant tracking and budgets are built into Givefront’s card and expense workflow:

• Create a grant budget and optional sub-budgets for each funder line item.
• Assign staff who are allowed to spend from that grant.
• Every transaction is mapped to a grant in real time — either automatically or by the employee via text.
• Drill from big picture → specific item
  See all allocations, documentation, and spend down at a glance.‍
• Generate clean grant spend reports in one click, or schedule them to run automatically without assembling PDFs manually.

Why This Changes Post Award Grant Reporting

Traditional grant-management tools don’t connect to your financial system in real time.

Givefront's grant tracking builds a direct relationship between your expenses and your awards, meaning:

• Fewer errors in reports
• Faster reimbursement cycles
• Less back-and-forth messages with program staff
• A clearer story for board members, auditors, and funders

When your grants stay organized automatically, the finance team can spend more time planning and less time on grant allocations.

Designed for Nonprofits First

We've built our expense management and reporting to how nonprofits actually operate: multiple programs under a grant, deadlines, and funder rules.

The feature streamlines what already happens behind the scenes: tying cards, budgets, and receipts together so grants stay accurate as activity happens.

Grant Tracking is now live for all Givefront customers.

Less guesswork. Stronger compliance. Faster reimbursements.
