The problem

Grant finance still runs on spreadsheets.

Budgets in one workbook, actuals in another, a cash forecast nobody trusts, and a week of reconciling before every funder report. There's a better way to run it.

Today

  • Budgets rebuilt from scratch for every proposal, with fringe and indirect worked out by hand.
  • Actuals exported from accounting and matched to grants line by line.
  • Overspends and underspends found at closeout, when it's too late.
  • Leadership asks "where do we stand?" and the answer takes days.

With GrantStride

  • Budgets built from your own rates, employees and fringe, ready in the funder's format.
  • Actuals loaded from your accounting system and mapped to each award.
  • Burn rate and variance flagged early, grant by grant.
  • One dashboard for the whole portfolio, always current.
The platform

Budget vs. actual
