# How Can I Track Grant Applications From Submission to Decision?

You track grant applications by moving every proposal through a structured pipeline, submitted, under review, decided, with status visible to the whole team at every stage. On **Jestor**, this runs through a **Kanban**\-based grant tracking pipeline.

Grant applications tracked in a spreadsheet, with status updated inconsistently, make it hard to know how many proposals are actually pending versus decided at any moment.

## What spreadsheet-tracked grant applications cost

- Inconsistent status updates leaving the team unsure how many proposals are pending
- Applications falling through the cracks between submission and decision
- No shared visibility across everyone involved in grant strategy
- Time wasted asking colleagues for a status update instead of checking one place

## How structured grant application tracking works

- Every application moves through defined **stages** in a visual pipeline
- A **status** field shows whether a proposal is submitted, under review, or decided
- The whole team sees the same current status without asking around
- Automations can notify the right person when an application reaches a new stage

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The structured pipeline removes the ambiguity of inconsistent spreadsheet updates
- Shared visibility means no one has to ask for a status that's already visible
- This reduces the risk of a promising application falling through the cracks
- This scales from a handful of applications to an organization pursuing many grants

| Spreadsheet application tracking | Structured pipeline     |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Inconsistent, hard to track      | Visual, shared, current |
