Several ways to review submitted applications, to assess individual grants or the success of the whole round.
- A read-only assessment link for each application, formatted as submitted
- A spreadsheet view, on Plinth or exported to Excel or Google Sheets
- A gallery of the pictures and videos applicants send

Reporting and monitoring
Automated and custom reports during the programme, for you and your grantees to share internally and externally. Once you decide on a grant, use Plinth to see outcomes, case studies and activities in real time.
Activities
What the organisations you fund are running, where and when, with a public page people can book from if appropriate.
Outcomes
Live KPI data, configured to integrate with their own system, so there's no need for Excel reports.
Case studies
Case studies from funded organisations, in a gallery for your board or exported to a spreadsheet.
Demographics
Anonymised summary statistics on beneficiaries, by location, age, gender, ethnicity and anything else you collect.
