Is this grant planner official donor compliance advice?

No. It is a practical planning tool. Teams must check the signed grant agreement, donor guidelines, procurement rules, finance policies, safeguarding requirements, and local legal obligations.

What can NGOs use this planner for?

It can help organize proposal deadlines, internal approvals, evidence packs, budget review, partnership documents, reporting dates, risk checks, visibility obligations, and close-out actions.

Does the planner store my grant data?

No. The planner runs in the browser and does not submit the entered data to The Change Architect. Users should still avoid entering confidential donor, partner, or beneficiary information.

Need support with a deadline?

Request grant readiness or compliance support.

Use this when your team has an upcoming proposal, active grant, reporting deadline, partner compliance gap, or close-out concern. The request will enter the operations inbox for triage.

Practical note: Donor rules vary. Always compare this generated plan with the call for proposals, signed agreement, donor finance guidance, procurement thresholds, safeguarding requirements, visibility rules, partner agreements, and your own organizational policies. For structured support, use the Donor Readiness and Grant Compliance pathway or request a support conversation.
