End-to-end grant management features
Unit4 ERP for Nonprofits rationalizes the entire grant lifecycle – from proposals and pre-awards to post-award registration, sub-recipients, sub-awards, and disbursements – enabling you to manage each stage with transparency and ease.
Pre-awards & proposals
A comprehensive pre-award portfolio and dedicated workspace provide award managers with access to important details, such as the proposed amount and likelihood, team members, documents, workflow tasks, reports, and deadlines. Pre-built dashboards offer a variety of metrics and KPIs. Links are available to the following activities:
- Pre-award record to amend associated pre-award details
- Pipeline of all pre-award proposals per status; pipeline dashboard containing the current pre-awards per status, per potential donor and period. It also displays the total awarded amount and success rate across proposals as well as per the funded amount
- Budget entry and amendment
Post-award registration
In the post-award workflow, grant agreement details are captured and attached. The award supports income processing and project expenditure allocation as part of the General Ledger dimensions. The solution offers a clear overview of award information with all relevant documents attached:
- Award details including donor, awarded amount, purpose, project reports, currency, and exchange rates.
- Award budget line mapping and ICR (Indirect Cost Rate) configuration.
- Workflow actions, assigned teams, and associated sub-awards and financial transactions.
Sub-awards
Easily manage commitments to sub-awardees and track deliverables, payments, and timelines. With structured workflows and clear financial links to the original grant, Unit4 simplifies sub-award processing and reporting.
- Commitment management with installment scheduling, due dates, and reporting on consumed and committed funds.
- Purchase order creation and contract linking with specific product groupings.
Disbursements
Handle reimbursements and disbursements with accuracy and confidence. Invoices and payment requests are automatically matched with sub-awards, ensuring clean financial tracking and up-to-date reporting on consumed funds.
- Reimbursement via installment or time-and-expense models.
- Invoice matching, payable creation, and real-time updates to commitments.
