Free Grant Deadline Tracker
A grant deadline that sneaks up on you is a missed application — and missed money. This free starter is a single-tab tracker that keeps every grant's application deadline in one place: enter the funder, the program, a status, and the deadline, and the spreadsheet counts down to each one on its own. Download it, drop in your grants, and watch the deadlines line up — it's a taste of how the full Nonprofit Grant-Tracking OS keeps a whole grants program on the rails.
Take it with you — free, no signup
Direct download. No email, no account — just the files.
What it does
- Lists every grant you're working — funder, program, status, and application deadline — on one tab.
- Counts down to each deadline automatically; a negative number means it has already passed.
- Colors each status cell by stage from a dropdown, so the board reads at a glance.
- Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice — a file you own, with no email or signup.
Own it, don't rent it
Want the whole grants program, not just the deadlines?
This free tracker keeps your deadlines straight. The full Nonprofit Grant-Tracking OS runs the whole grant lifecycle — a prospect pipeline with win rate, a reporting calendar that flags overdue reports, a restricted-fund tracker, a funder directory, and a live dashboard that pulls it all together — in one connected workbook (Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice) plus four guides.
A one-time purchase you keep and reuse — the owned workbook between a blank spreadsheet and a rented monthly grants app.
A planning and tracking template, not accounting software and not financial, legal, tax, or grant-compliance advice. The example grants are fictional. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any funder. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
