Grants and community funding
Build the acquittal while the funded work is happening.
Milestone evidence, eligible spending, payment conditions, approved change and outcome reporting must stay aligned from establishment through evaluation.

Needs evidenceThe engagement lifecycle
How the engagement moves through delivery.
01
Form
Turn the agreement into a delivery model
Outcomes, activities, eligible expenditure, milestones, payment conditions, reports and unspent-fund rules are proposed from the source. The provider and recipient review the delivery plan, with each acceptance recorded for the scope it governs.
What stays connected
Outcome, activity, owner, milestone, payment condition and required evidence.
02
Mobilise
Plan evidence before delivery starts
The recipient assigns work and identifies evidence that must be created at source. Provider approvals and response duties are visible beside recipient obligations.
What stays connected
Activity owner, evidence plan, approval, answer date and dependency.
03
Deliver
Keep self-report distinct from verification
The shared journal records activity, blockers and questions. Invoices, timesheets and outcome evidence link to milestones, while recipient statements remain claimed until the provider verifies them.
What stays connected
Claimed activity, supporting evidence, question, provider review and verified milestone.
04
Review
Join risk, payment and evidence
A late or weak milestone report can block the next recorded payment step and prompt proportionate review. Delivery budget and approved funding changes remain visible.
What stays connected
Milestone state, evidence gap, risk response, payment condition and budget position.
05
Adapt
Change the grant before delivery drifts
A changed community need records proposed scope, time, budget and outcome effects. Only an authorised variation revises the live position or treatment of unspent funds.
What stays connected
Original purpose, proposed change, authority, revised milestones and fund treatment.
06
Acquit
Close with evidence already assembled
Outputs, outcomes, spending evidence, declarations, unresolved issues and unspent funds are assembled progressively. The authorised grant provider decides whether the conditions are accepted.
What stays connected
Outcome evidence, financial evidence, declaration, acceptance and remaining funds.

Delivery trust
Let responsible delivery reduce future friction
Verified milestone and acquittal history supports more proportionate future diligence. Responsible recipients can carry source-linked evidence of delivery into later funding decisions.
