Toolkit
A system for better grant funding decisions.
If your grant fundraising lives across bookmarked tabs, half-finished documents and one person’s increasingly tired brain, this tracker is for you.
I created it because I needed one place to see:
- ✦which opportunities are actually worth pursuing;
- ✦what you have applied for;
- ✦what is still under review;
- ✦how much funding you have secured;
- ✦why applications were unsuccessful;
- ✦your real success rate over time;
The tracker gives you a clear overview of your entire funding pipeline, with automatic calculations for your application outcomes, success rate and funding secured. It also helps you record why you chose not to apply, identify recurring opportunities and build an annual funding calendar.
I used this system while growing GORM from a small idea into an organisation that secured significant public, philanthropic and programme funding. It is simple, practical and built from actually doing the work.
