Frequently asked questions
What is GrantJar?
You won a grant, congratulations. GrantJar is a simple tool that helps you manage it: log your expenses, keep every receipt in one place, watch your budget, and produce a clean report for your funder. No spreadsheets to wrestle and no accountant required.
Is my data private?
Your grant records are private to you. We use them only to show you your own dashboard and reports. We never sell them, never share them, and never use them for anything else. You can export everything to a spreadsheet or delete it whenever you like. It is your data, and it stays that way.
Is GrantJar free?
Yes. GrantJar is free to use. Share it with your fellows.
Which grants does it support?
Start from a built-in template for the Bush Fellowship, Mandela Washington Fellowship, Ashoka Fellowship, or Echoing Green Fellowship, or build your own grant with your goals, categories, and budget. You can edit any template to match your award.
What about receipts?
Add a photo or PDF of the receipt to any expense and it stays attached, so everything you need for reporting is in one place.
Can I track more than one grant?
GrantJar currently focuses on a single grant per account so it stays simple and clear. Support for tracking multiple grants is on the way.
How do I report to my funder?
Open a grant and export your records to a spreadsheet (CSV) or a PDF report covering every expense and a month-by-month summary.
