Project Streamline, a collaborative initiative of eight organizations, led by the Grants Mangers Network, has released two new guides this week. These guides are a part of a series that’s intended to help increase the impact of grants by eliminating unnecessary procedures and paperwork for grantseekers and grantmakers alike.
Grantseekers report that differing grantmaker requirements for financial information represents one of the most challenging and cost-intensive components of grant seeking. The first guide, Grant Budgets and Financial Reporting pdf, provides recommendations for grantmakers to decrease the financial reporting requirements for nonprofits.
The second report, Online Applications and Reporting pdf, provides insight on technological and procedural best practices for maximizing the efficiency of a grantmaker’s online application technology. A supplemental report that assesses seven different vendors on the criteria identified in the report will be published later this month.
