Multi Fund Grant Reporting
Current Challenge: The grant reporting system currently lists each fund disbursement as a separate grant, even when multiple funds contribute to a single board-approved grant. This results in:
Overstatement of grant count: A single grant appears as multiple entries.
Underreporting of average grant size: The total amount is split across entries, skewing metrics.
Reduced clarity for stakeholders: For example, a $25,000 grant funded by five sources appears as five $5,000 grants, misrepresenting board decisions and complicating analysis.
Proposed Solution: Implement a reporting enhancement that consolidates multi-fund contributions into a single grant entry. Key features could include:
A unified grant ID that aggregates all fund sources.
A breakdown within the grant entry showing fund contributions.
Accurate reflection of board-approved grant totals and counts.
