Track a Grant

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

• Create a new grant opportunity record.
• Track stages of the grant opportunity lifecycle from research to receiving.

The Grant Opportunity Lifecycle in NPSP

Grant management can be time-consuming because there are several stages of the grant lifecycle. Because your grants process may include multiple collaborators, it’s important that everyone on your team has a single source of truth. With NPSP, they can check the current stage of a grant, and analyze parts of the process that may need improvement or additional support.

With the grant opportunity record in NPSP, you can track the entire lifecycle of a grant, from research to receiving. Watch the video to see how to create a new grant opportunity record and follow along as the grant moves through each stage.
