Donor fund tracking

Every donor shilling, traceable from receipt to report

Code spending to a grant as it is entered, watch burn rates live, report restricted and unrestricted separately, and turn donor reports into exports. A grant is modelled as a project — that is a discipline the system records, not a wall it enforces, and the scope section says so plainly.

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, you are exactly who this was built for.

Classification archaeology

Transactions get their grant identity weeks later, reconstructed from receipts and memory.

Silent line overspends

Fuel under Grant A runs out, so it quietly books to Grant B — and neither report reconciles.

Restricted funds borrowed for rent

"We returned it" is still a finding. The wall between funds must be structural, not aspirational.

Advances lost in the field

Money in the field belongs to no budget line until liquidation — and liquidations drift for months.

How teams get started

1

Set up one grant

Load the approved budget with its lines and restriction rules.

2

Spend against it for a month

Expenses, procurement, and advances all tagged at entry — the system blocks untagged spending.

3

Export the donor report

Budget-vs-actual and burn rate, straight from the system. Compare it with last quarter's spreadsheet week.

A Grant Budgeted Net of Tax Is Short by the Tax

Where the consumption tax cannot be reclaimed, it has to be charged to a budget line — and a line has a ceiling that a good intention does not raise. The arithmetic is simple and it is discovered late.

Questions we are asked here

Frequently asked questions

Can one expense be split across two grants?

Yes — shared costs (rent, utilities, shared staff) can be allocated across grants by percentage or amount, with the allocation recorded and repeatable month to month.

How do you handle grants in USD or EUR spent in KES?

The grant is recorded at the receipt-date rate, expenses book in KES as incurred, and exchange differences are reported explicitly and consistently across the grant period.

Does it enforce liquidation deadlines on advances?

No. There is no advance or liquidation object in the product at all, so nothing carries a deadline, nothing is flagged or escalated automatically, and no policy can block a new advance. An earlier version of this answer described all three behaviours and none of them existed. What you can do today is issue the advance as a payment to the staff member and clear it against the expenses they later submit, which is a real workflow and an entirely manual one — the ageing and the chasing are yours. **A proper advance register with deadlines, escalation and a block on re-issue is on the roadmap and commissionable now**, on a written specification, a timeline and a price agreed before anything starts. If unliquidated advances are the reason you are shopping, treat this as the deciding row.

Can donors or auditors get read-only access?

Role-based access lets you give auditors read-only views scoped to the grants they are reviewing, with every historical transaction and its documentation attached.
