How the report is organized
A full report opens with a short overview of where to focus first. Numbered sections follow, then every source the research cited and a note about the research itself.
A report includes only the sections its findings fill, so this one has four.

The opportunities, ranked by fit
In GrantFlex the report opens on its opportunities. Each card shows the funder, the kind of support, the funder's status as the research read it and a suggested next step. Filters narrow the list by funder status or by the decisions you've made.

The written report
The Full report tab reads as one document, with its contents first and its sources at the end. It's the same report as the PDF and Word files above.
Before you rely on a report
- Check deadlines, amounts and who can apply on each funder's own page.
- Treat Reported and Unknown facts as questions to confirm, not answers.
- Research can be out of date or wrong. The report says when it read each source.
- GrantFlex never contacts a funder or submits anything for you.
