You’ve asked and we’ve listened! Our Grants Calendar feature is ready to help organise your funding opportunities and ensure you’re meeting crucial deadlines ahead of time. 

This feature is available for members on Premium and Team plans. Not only will it improve your funding strategies, but it makes processes more efficient, invites collaboration and easily outlines due dates and potential grants. The Grants Calendar is an innovative tool that will help you oversee workloads, progress and will act as a good prompt in identifying potential funding. What’s not to love? 

 

Check out its benefits below. 

1) Create your own grants schedule

With the Grants Calendar, you can easily view what grants are available and where you need to go to apply. Funding opportunities can be organised and accessed with the click of a button. Adding grants to your own schedule, allows you to effectively plan for the year ahead. Create success by staying on top of applications and highlighting the best funding rounds for your organisation and projects. 

2) Manage deadlines and receive reminders

It doesn’t matter how great your application is, if you miss the deadline then you’ve missed the opportunity. With our Grants Calendar, you can easily see upcoming due dates and quickly identify when your schedule will become quite busy. The Grants Calendar ensures you won’t have to rush applications, especially if they fall on the same due date. You can also opt in to receive emails a week before your calendared grant is about to close! By forecasting opportunities, you’ll be able to strategise time to effectively hit your target.

3) Add notes for collaboration

The Add Notes functionality not only assists with grant organisation, but it invites brainstorming and team collaboration, especially when preparing applications. Beside each grant you’ve added in your calendar, you can jot down specific notes and additional plans or goals. This tool is exceptionally handy, especially when fleshing out application requirements or ideas. Furthermore, team members can join forces in the notes section. Multiple people can comment and add extra conversation points, meaning there’s more collaboration in your funding strategy. Avoid forgetting about ideas and write them down. No thoughts will be lost when inspiration calls. 

4) Add your own grants

Want to add a grant that isn’t listed in our directory, for example, a private or invitation-only grant? No problem! Just click to add your own grants and you will be able to fill out any details you’d like to include regarding the grant opportunity. This will submit to your calendar, alongside the grants you have added from our directory, to give you a full and accurate representation of the grants landscape ahead.

5) Track grant opportunities

Some grants, especially rounds that have closed, can be difficult to track. Even if you’ve missed them, you can still pop them into your calendar and they’ll automatically appear on the correct due date when their status changes to open again. This is a serious game-changer. Having a tool like the Grants Calendar allows for planning, especially when exploring grants that are open or closed. Never miss a suitable funding opportunity again and ensure you’re one step ahead of the competition.  

5) View grants the way you want to

The Grants Calendar helps with planning and especially assists those who enjoy being able to visually see grants in a calendar format. With optional view settings, you can quickly gain a birds-eye perspective of upcoming funding opportunities. This helps with organising all your applications. View grants in a grid mode, which gives you a calendar month-long snapshot of your schedule. Alternatively, view in a list mode to see a summary of each grant with any notes or conversations you’ve added. 

6) Plan a year in advance

The Grants Calendar allows you to plan a whole year in advance. By adding grants to your program, you’ll develop a great snapshot of what’s ahead. Staying future-focused will help empower team members and ensure time and resources are allocated wisely. All you’ll need to do is ensure your eligibility and requirements are ticked off. 

Are you ready for success?

What better way to start the year than with a new planner that will help you effectively strategise funding opportunities. With the Grants Calendar, you’ll be able to focus more time and energy on getting applications submission-ready. 

The Grants Calendar is a great tool that will add significant value to your grants program and funding strategies. Build the foundation ahead of time. Say goodbye to rushed applications and hello to a year of success.
