Making Grant Management Practical with Grant and Contract Management Expert Ansley Fender Grant management costs an average of 20% of grant funding, which means that a pretty significant amount of funding is going to overhead rather than programs and services. A lot of nonprofits end up having to hire more people just to manage their grants, which further cuts into the funding. This is crazy considering how much of a public good nonprofits provide to society. COVID, for example, highlighted the fact that when the private sector is shutting down and the public sector can't move fast enough, the nonprofit sector steps it up. Because grant management software like Blackbaud is so expensive, a lot of grant managers have tried to force accounting software like Quickbooks to do grant management, which it was never intended to do. The result is messy books that are moderately ok for grant management but terrible for internal and Board management. The other option is spreadsheets, which require so much additional work and are shockingly easy to break. Atlas' mission is to support the mission of grant-funded and grant-seeking nonprofits by streamlining and automating their grant management so they can recapture the 20% lost to traditional grant management. We exist because they do. Ansley Fender's entrepreneurial journey began when she was pregnant with her second child. Despite being at a critical juncture in her life, she took a leap of faith and quit her job to start her own business. The concept for Atlas was born while Ansley was doing bookkeeping for nonprofits. She saw that as much as 30% of grant funding was going into administrative costs. Not only that, but the assistants handling those duties were being overworked. Atlas' software helps lighten the load by scouring databases to match funders with funding recipients. On the days that being a startup founder is especially difficult, Ansley gets inspiration from her two fearless little girls.

Does your family budget feel tight? Learn 3 key ways on how you can save hundreds of dollars each month while raising your kids and still having fun! Saving More as a Family I know that financial independence is a buzzword in the personal finance sphere. You got stories where people are saving 60, 70% of and retiring in 5, 10 years. I commend anyone is who simplifies their lives and removes the needless excess so they can achieve the goal. What I do see missing in some of these dramatic stories are the numbers, details, and well, relatability. Saving 70% of a $200k income is an achievement, but so is saving 20% of a $50,000. And to be helpful to families of different incomes, we need to look at the principles behind and it really comes down to mastering the art of living well on less. Notice I didn’t say living on less. You do have to spend less than you earn- that’s a core financial principle - but the other is living well. This is about a financial diet where you deprive yourself just to save more. This is about a lifestyle where you nail what truly matters to you, cut out the noise, and move your money towards your dreams. Now, before you can pay off your debts, have an emergency fund, or invest for your future you have to have some money, right? We have to develop our muscle with saving more. Which is why we have Ansley Fender on today. She’s a Personal Finance Coach and Writer. Ansley helps people make sense of their money by designing spending plans that align with their goals and lifestyle preferences.
