The agreement tells you what to report. FunderReport writes it.
When you finish a funded program, your funder wants a report proving how the money was spent and what it achieved. FunderReport reads your funding agreement, turns its requirements into a checklist, and drafts each section from your own records — your ledger, your program notes, your numbers. Where the records can't back a claim, it leaves an honest blank with the reason, never a paragraph that only sounds complete.
For non-profits
Interactive walkthrough — sample acquittal
Your funding agreement. Click any requirement, and the section that answers it comes into view — with the pieces of evidence it was built from marked, so you can see exactly what each part of the report rests on.
What it is
A grant comes with a report attached.
When a funder gives your non-profit money for a program, the money comes with a condition: afterwards, you report back showing exactly how it was spent and whether you did what you promised. In the sector this report-back is called an “acquittal,” and getting it right matters — it's how you stay in good standing for the next round of funding.
Built from your own records, section by section.
FunderReport reads the funding agreement, turns each requirement into a checklist item, and drafts each section of the report from your own records — the financial ledger, the case notes, the attendance numbers. Every sentence traces back to something in your files.
Honest blanks, not filler.
Where your records genuinely can't answer a requirement, FunderReport leaves that section blank and says why — because a funder can tell the difference between “we don't have this yet” and a paragraph written to paper over a gap. An honest blank protects the relationship; a plausible-sounding guess is what an audit catches.

FunderReport does not submit to the funder’s portal. The signed report leaves as a document, from a person, which is what the agreement asked for in the first place.
Before / After
The number doesn't move to look better.
The three sections it won't write.
Before — the pressure to round
It's tempting to round toward the target.
134 against a target of 120 is a success either way — rounding it doesn't change the outcome, so why not make it read cleaner on the page?
After — FunderReport
134 is reported as 134.
No rounding, no smoothing. The three requirements the records genuinely can't answer come back as honest boxes, not paragraphs that sound like they did.
Three sections it left blank — on purpose.
Not failures of the tool — the three requirements that need a person.
Write an unapproved number
A number your records don't contain, or a rate nobody has approved.
Report only the wins
If a participant didn't complete, that's in the report — an acquittal is not a newsletter.
Round an outcome toward the target
134 against a target of 120 is reported as 134 against 120.
Sign it
A named board member signs; their name and the time go on the record.
An acquittal is written a handful of times a year by someone who is anxious about getting it wrong. So the drafting area is a calm document with nothing happening in it beyond what you asked for: click a requirement, and its section — and the evidence it came from — is the only thing that moves.
