Pacing and runway

See if you are spending too fast, before it is a problem.

GrantJar compares budget used against time elapsed and projects your runout date, so you can adjust early instead of finding out at close-out.

Why not a spreadsheet

The spreadsheet got you this far. GrantJar takes it the rest of the way.

A spreadsheet

  • Nowhere to keep receipts
  • No warning before you go over budget
  • No sense of whether you are pacing ahead or behind
  • Reporting means hours of reformatting by hand
  • One bad formula away from an off budget

GrantJar

  • A receipt attached to every expense
  • Pacing and runout projection built in
  • Numbers that always reconcile
  • A clean PDF and spreadsheet in one click
  • Templates that already match your award
