Why Funding Management Matters

Nonprofit organizations face unique financial challenges that traditional accounting systems cannot address: donor restrictions, milestone-based funding, compliance with multiple guidelines (UKHIH, OMB, EU), and transparent multi-stakeholder reporting. Manual budget creation, expense tracking in spreadsheets, and disconnected funding workflows lead to overruns, compliance violations, and lost donor confidence.

Problems Solved

Manual budget creation taking 3-5 days, budget overruns going unnoticed until monthly reconciliation, expense approval bottlenecks delaying payments for 2-3 weeks, no link between budgets and milestones, lump-sum grants creating cash flow issues, manual cost eligibility assessment against complex donor rules, multi-currency conversion errors, and financial reporting taking 5-10 days per cycle.

Expected Outcomes

AI-powered budget import reducing creation time by 95%, real-time monitoring preventing 35% of budget overruns, approval workflows accelerating by 70%, milestone-based funding reducing fraud by 65% while improving donor confidence by 40%, automated compliance checking achieving 99.9% audit pass rates, zero currency errors with multi-currency support, and one-click reporting reducing effort by 90%.

AI import alternative: Upload Excel → AI extracts items → Preview → Confirm. AI compliance check assigns cost types (Direct/Indirect/Overhead) and evaluates eligibility against UKHIH/OMB guidelines. Submit to CFO/Board for approval.

2

Expense Management & Tracking

Staff creates expense entry linking to Project/Budget/Budget Item with amount, currency, date, vendor, receipt upload. Submit for approval → Manager reviews (UNDER_REVIEW) → Finance approves (APPROVED).

Payment processed → Status: PAID.

3

Milestone-Based Funding (Revolutionary)

Milestone completed with has_funding_available=True → NGO creates FundingRequest with amount, justification, documents, unique reference code (PROJ-FR-2501-XXXX) → Submit (SUBMITTED) → Grant Manager reviews (UNDER_REVIEW) validating completion → Approve (APPROVED) → Disburse funds (DISBURSED) → System auto-creates Revenue entry linked to budget with reference code → NGO verifies receipt uploading bank statement (VERIFIED) → Complete with full audit trail.
