Easy Read — Project

Grant & Project Lifecycle System

A simple system to plan, run and keep grant-funded projects working well. It helps teams manage grants, reduce risk and plan for long-term impact.

In short

This system gives clear steps, templates and tools for every part of a grant or project. It covers planning, budgets, risks, reporting and handover so work can continue after the grant ends.

Who this helps

  • Grant managers and project leads
  • Small teams in schools, libraries and councils
  • Community organisations and not-for-profits
  • Funders and program officers who want transparent reporting

What we offer

  • Templates: simple plans, risk registers and budgets.
  • Process: step-by-step lifecycle for grants and projects.
  • Tools: checklists and short dashboards for monitoring.
  • Training: short sessions and facilitator guides.
  • Handover: sustainment checklists and procurement notes for long-term delivery.

How it works — simple steps

1
Scope & plan — set aims, outcomes and a clear budget.
2
Set up & deliver — use templates, assign roles and begin delivery.
3
Monitor & report — short checks, simple dashboards and clear reports for funders.
4
Review & handover — evaluate outcomes and prepare a sustainment plan so services continue.

Why this helps

  • Less confusing admin — simple templates save time.
  • Better decisions — clear data and monitoring.
  • Lower risk — standard checks and simple risk registers.
  • More lasting services — plans for sustainment and procurement.
  • Transparent reporting — easy for funders and partners to understand.
