Best Way to Start Using Grant Frog

Learn the best way to start using Grant Frog

You might be used to using single or multiple spreadsheets to track your grant proposals, funders, and clients.

It can be difficult to jump between all of your information and find what's most important.

With Grant Frog, everything is connected.

Everything is Connected

In Grant Frog, everything is connected to one another.

Example: Your Grant Proposals are connected to a Funder. On your Grant Proposal page, you can see the connected or linked Funder.

Grant Proposal record linked to Funder

On the Funder record, you can see *all* Grant Proposals related to that Funder. This makes it easy to see how many proposals you've sent to the Funder, the amount, and total proposals pending response.

Funder record (edited for clarity)

Each time you create a new Grant Proposal, you will choose a Funder from your Funder list or create a new Funder if you've never sent a proposal to them before.

Once you create a Funder record, you'll only have to do it once! Now, every time you create a Grant Proposal, you'll just choose that Funder.

You won't create a new Funder record each time if that Funder is already in your Funder list. Where in a spreadsheet, you have to write out the Funder every time.

Adding Your Grant Information

As you start planning your grants calendar, you can start entering it into Grant Frog.

If it's your first time using Grant Frog, we'll import your previous grant proposals, funders, and clients! Reach out to us at https://grantfrog.com/app-support

  1. Create a Funder record

  2. Create a Client record (if applicable)

  3. Create a Grant Proposal record

As you start entering in Grant Proposals, you can put the Due Date of each one. These will start showing up on your Dashboard and you'll start receiving Due Date Reminder Emails.
