Grant money comes withstrings attached.

Nonprofit teams that run on grants carry an unusual burden: the money arrives with a legal document attached, and that document quietly creates dozens of dated obligations — progress reports, financial reports, audit thresholds, prior-approval rules, drawdown windows.

Miss one, and the consequences are not abstract. A late report delays a payment. An overspent line becomes an audit finding. A missed approval turns an eligible cost into an ineligible one. And the organisations least able to absorb a clawback are usually the ones with the least administrative capacity to prevent it.

The existing options were a spreadsheet, a shared drive, or enterprise grant-management software priced for institutions with a grants department — not a grants person. Grantwell is the tool for the second kind of organisation: it reads the award letter, extracts what it obliges you to do, and holds every date with the receipt still attached.
