Managing several awarded grants by reporting interval? The grant reporting tracker turns award dates and intervals into an exportable review queue with restricted balances — nothing uploaded.
Tracking a different statutory deadline instead? The NY LLC Transparency Act tracker checks a New York LLC's likely filing category and counts down to its own deadline.

Cash at risk if this report is late
A late progress report usually stops the next draw before it stops the whole award. Compare missing it, writing it yourself, and hiring a contract grant writer. Worked example.

Common questions
When is my next grant report due?
If the award started 1 January 2025 and the funder wants a report every 6 months, the current period as of 26 August 2026 is 1 July 2026 — overdue — not the first interval after the award. Type the next date yourself when the award letter names a different day.
Does this file a grant report?
No. The tracker is a planning record. It does not file a report, certify allowability, or determine a funder's deadline.
Should I hire a grant writer to file this report on time?
On a typical $24,000 food-program award with $15,500 still unspent and a $6,000 next installment, $21,500 is at risk if the report is late. Filing it yourself at 14 hours and $42/hr costs $588 and keeps $20,912. A contract writer at 8 hours and $85/hr costs $680 and still keeps $20,820. Missing the report keeps $0 of that cash.
Does a renewal or clawback change how much is at risk?
Yes — add whichever lines your own award letter actually threatens. On that same $24,000 award, unspent funds plus the $6,000 installment is $21,500, but a funder that also claws back 25% of the $8,500 already spent adds $2,125, taking the total at risk to $23,625. Only check the boxes your letter names; the tracker does not invent a renewal or clawback that was never on the table.
Can hiring a grant writer ever cost more than just missing the report?
Yes, on a small award. With $500 left at risk and no other obligation, a 20-hour writer at $85/hr costs $1,700 — paying $1,700 to protect $500 leaves you $1,200 worse off than simply missing the report's $500 hole. The tracker flags this case rather than defaulting to "hire a writer"; it does not mean the report doesn't matter, only that this particular fix costs more than the funds it protects.
What do "overdue," "soon," and "upcoming" mean on the obligations list?
Overdue is any due date already in the past. Soon is due within the next 30 days. Upcoming is everything past that. The list sorts on this so the nearest and most overdue obligations sit at the top — it is how the tracker orders rows, not a funder's own grace period, which you should always confirm against the award letter.
