Here’s a week with Grantkeeper.

Fictional week. Illustrative names, numbers and conversations.

MondayStart the week with a personal thank-you.

Elena’s pantry has a week of donors to thank. Grantkeeper drafts personal notes from her giving export and flags Rosa’s $300 gift for finance to check. Elena reviews the wording and sends the notes. 1

Monday. You: Use this giving export and thank-you log to draft this week’s notes. Flag anything finance should check. Grantkeeper: Three personal thank-you drafts ready. Rosa’s $300 gift needs finance to confirm the acknowledgment wording and any goods or services. Two refunded gifts set aside.

TuesdayGive the grant report its supporting records.

Elena needs records behind the grant report. Grantkeeper matches attendance sheets and expenses to each question and flags the missing household count. She checks the answers against the award terms before submitting. 2

Tuesday. You: Match these records to the report questions. Show me what’s missing. Grantkeeper: Attendance supports 86 visits, not 86 unique households. Expense total needs finance’s reconciliation. I drafted the supported answers and a request for the missing household count.

WednesdayPlan the shifts with the people who can come.

Saturday’s pantry team still has an open packing shift. Grantkeeper turns the latest signup sheet into a roster with confirmed roles and a request for Ben. Elena checks suitability and confirms the last role before sharing it. 3

Wednesday. You: Turn this signup sheet into Saturday’s roster. Show confirmed shifts and people we still need to ask. Grantkeeper: Ana confirmed the door shift, 9–11. Ben is available for packing but hasn’t accepted yet. Roster draft and a request for Ben ready; packing stays open until he confirms.

ThursdayBring the board’s reading into one packet.

Two versions of the board minutes disagree on a spending decision. Grantkeeper gathers the reading into one packet and flags the conflict for the chair. The board approves its record before Elena shares the checked packet. 4

Thursday. You: Compare these board files. Build the packet and flag conflicting versions. Grantkeeper: Packet draft ready. The two minutes disagree on the spending decision; neither is marked approved. I kept that item open and listed who needs to confirm it. Treasurer’s report attached with its date.

FridayFind funders whose giving fits your work.

Elena wants funders whose past giving fits the pantry. Grantkeeper prepares a shortlist with filing years, application restrictions and current guidelines beside each name. She confirms eligibility and deadlines before deciding where to apply. 5

See how it’s prepared
Friday. You: Make a shortlist for our pantry program. Link each funder’s giving history, application rules and current guidelines. Grantkeeper: Shortlist ready with sources. One foundation lists pantry grants but only funds preselected organizations. Another accepts inquiries; its current deadline still needs confirmation. Each entry links the filing year and guidelines.

SaturdayGive the next event a page to share.

The community supper needs a page people can use. Grantkeeper checks the draft against the approved event sheet and leaves the venue’s accessibility details open for confirmation. Elena checks those details and tests the signup link before publication. 6

See how it’s prepared
Saturday. You: Check this supper page against the approved event sheet. Prepare a draft with the details we can confirm. Grantkeeper: Draft ready with the supper date, time and address. The signup link is included. Accessibility details still need the venue owner’s confirmation; that field is marked for review.

SundayShare next week’s news in both languages.

Next week’s bulletin needs matching details in English and Spanish. Grantkeeper spots an old address in the Spanish draft and corrects it against the approved event sheet. Elena reviews both versions and tests the link before publishing. 7

See how it’s prepared
Sunday. You: Check both bulletins against this approved event sheet. Match the dates, address and links. Grantkeeper: Spanish draft has the old address. Corrected to 18 Oak Street in the draft; both versions now say Saturday, 9–11. Please test the signup link on your phone before publishing.
