Delivering a grant funded project

Your grant application is often the first step to measuring and evaluating your project. It is the most comprehensive statement of what you will do if your application is successful. So you will need systems for recording information, monitoring and evaluating your progress and performance just as much as the funder does.

This can help provide you with information about your progress and performance to:

  • Check against budgets, targets, timetable, objectives and outcomes
  • Make adjustments if you are going off course
  • Publish in your annual report to help build public image
  • Demonstrate your effective use of funding to use in your next application
