Grants module

Track grant deadlines, reporting milestones, and funder requirements in Lapsewise so you never miss an application or reporting date.

Grants module

The Grants module tracks funding with deadlines: grant applications, reporting milestones, funder contracts, disbursement dates, and compliance check-ins. It's built for nonprofits, research teams, and anyone managing funded work where a missed date can mean lost money.

What it tracks

  • The grant and funder
  • Key dates: application deadline, reporting milestones, end/closeout date
  • Amount / value
  • The owner responsible
  • Supporting documents (award letter, agreement, report templates)

Key dates

Grants often have multiple dates that matter — not just one. Lapsewise lets you track the application deadline and the recurring reporting milestones, reminding you ahead of each at 8am local time.

A worked example

A research office tracks 15 active grants. Each has quarterly reporting milestones plus a final report date. Owners are the relevant PIs. Lapsewise surfaces upcoming milestones on the runway and reminds each PI 30 and 7 days out — so reports go in on time and funding stays compliant.

Tips

  • Create separate records (or milestone dates) for each reporting deadline so each gets its own reminder.
  • Set long lead times for applications — they take time to prepare.
  • Attach the award letter and reporting template so the owner has what they need when reminded.

FAQ

Can I track multiple milestones per grant? Yes — capture each reporting/disbursement date so each triggers its own reminder.

Who should own a grant record? Usually the person accountable for reporting (e.g. the PI or program manager).
