Funder reporting

One finished report per funder, in the format that funder actually asks for.

What you getFunder reporting
One finished report per funder

Built in the categories and on the schedule that funder's own grant agreement requires, not a generic export you reformat by hand.

A reconciliation to your ledger

Every dollar on every funder report traced back to the transaction it came from, with anything not yet mapped to a category named.

Deadlines tracked against the calendar

Every funder's filing date checked against today, so a report due in two weeks and one already late both show up before the funder has to ask.

How it worksSame four steps, every solution
  1. 01

    Get your ledger

    Your accounting system's export.

  2. 02

    Match your columns

    Which column is which.

  3. 03

    Name what's in your file

    What each code in your ledger really is.

  4. 04

    Fix what's flagged

    What your auditor asks first.

The rules it checksKept current
Financial reporting
2 CFR 200.328

Federal award recipients have a standing obligation to report financial activity accurately and on the schedule their award requires. Leap builds that same discipline into every funder relationship, federal or private.

Every funder writes its own rules
Funder agreement terms

A private foundation's grant agreement sets its own reporting categories, its own schedule, and its own format, all outside the federal rulebook. Leap maps your ledger into whatever categories that specific agreement calls for.

A worked exampleRiverbend Community Partners, year end December 31, 2025

Riverbend Community Partners tracked $460,050 in funder-restricted activity across 3 funders. $9,250 across 3 transactions is not yet mapped to a report category. 2 funder reports passed their filing deadline with no record of being sent.

By hand vs. with LeapWhat actually changes
Building each funder's report
By hand

A different spreadsheet rebuilt by hand for every funder, every period, in that funder's own format.

With Leap

One mapping per funder, done once. Every report after that is the same ledger, reformatted automatically.

Catching a missed deadline
By hand

Nobody catches it until the funder asks where the report is.

With Leap

Tracked against the ledger's own dates. Riverbend's demo shows 2 funder reports already past their filing deadline with no record of being sent.

Spend with no report category
By hand

Sits in the ledger, unreported, until someone reconciles by hand.

With Leap

Named automatically. $9,250 across 3 transactions isn't mapped to any report category yet.

Cost
By hand

Staff hours rebuilding the same numbers into a new template for every funder on the list.

With Leap

Free to try self-serve, or $199 a month for every solution on the platform.

QuestionsAnswered plainly
Does this replace my federal Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards?

No. Funder reporting covers every funder on your list, federal and private, in that funder's own categories and format. The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is a separate, federally required document Leap also builds.

How does Leap know each funder's report format?

You map your chart of accounts to that funder's categories once, when you set the funder up. Every report after that pulls from the same mapping.

What if a funder changes its template?

Update the mapping for that funder and every future report follows the new format. Past reports stay exactly as they were filed.
