Measure the ROI of Your Grants

Move beyond tracking spend to reporting the real-world impact your program creates.

Funders want to know what their money did, not just where it went. This video uses a workforce development grant example to show how Submittable tracks inputs, outputs and outcomes, then turns them into dashboards for stakeholders.

What you’ll see

  • Track inputs automatically, like dollars invested and program data
  • Collect outputs from awardees, like people trained and program completions
  • Track outcomes over time, like job placements and employment rates
  • Bring in external data, like tax revenue generated, to show return on investment
  • Standardize data across programs with global fields
  • Build dashboards with drag-and-drop report builder and export them as a slide deck

Who it’s for

Grantmakers, including government funders, who report results to boards, taxpayers or legislators.

Frequently asked questions

Can I include data from outside Submittable?
