Where nonprofits lose visibility into time and cost

Time accuracy

Volunteer and staff hours are logged too late

Volunteer hours end up in spreadsheets, if they're recorded at all. Staff split their time across multiple programs and complete their timesheets from memory days later. By the time someone needs the numbers, they're no longer reliable.

Volunteer and staff hours are logged too late
Functional allocation

Staff time gets allocated by guesswork

Nonprofit staff time often needs to be split across programs, administration, and fundraising. Without accurate time records, those allocations become estimates instead of real data, making Form 990 reporting, financial reporting, and audit preparation more difficult.

Program visibility

Leadership can't see true program costs

Staff and volunteer time is spread across multiple programs, but without accurate time data it's difficult to see what each program actually costs. By the time budgets are reconciled at the end of the year, overruns have already happened.

Grant reporting

Grant reporting depends on accurate time records

Grant reports depend on accurate records of where staff and volunteer time was spent. When those records live in separate spreadsheets and timesheets, teams spend hours pulling everything together by hand before every reporting deadline.

Time tracking features nonprofits actually need

Staff and volunteers log time the same simple way

Nonprofit staff and volunteers log hours from a weekly timesheet, the mobile time tracking app, or a browser, assigning every entry to the right program, grant, or task from the start.

Volunteer hours are recorded as they happen, not reconstructed later from memory.

Staff and volunteers log time the same simple way

Every hour goes to the right program or grant

Organize work by program, grant, or function using a flexible structure that matches the way your nonprofit operates.

Every hour is categorized the moment it's logged, so preparing a functional expense report doesn't mean piecing together months of time records.

Every hour goes to the right program or grant

Watch every program's budget in real time

Set a time or cost budget for each program and watch its progress as hours are logged.

Leadership sees when a program is about to go over budget while there's still time to adjust, helping prevent budget overruns before they become year-end surprises.

Never start grant reporting from scratch

Time is recorded against the right grant from day one, so when reporting deadlines arrive, the data you need is already there.

Export it to CSV for further processing instead of rebuilding spreadsheets every reporting cycle.
