About This Automation

Funder reporting requires gathering volunteer hours, survey data, and outcome metrics from multiple sources, then manually calculating impact figures and drafting custom narratives for each funder. Manual compilation is time-consuming, error-prone, and delays delivery.

Automation collects and structures all impact data in real time, calculates metrics automatically, and populates a branded report template tailored to each funder's requirements. Reports are ready for review and approval within hours instead of days.

Key features
Collect volunteer hours, survey responses, and outcome data from multiple sources automatically
Calculate impact metrics including cost savings, beneficiary counts, and outcome percentages without manual entry
Populate branded report templates with consistent formatting and narrative for each funder
Flag incomplete or missing data for manual review before report generation
Log all reports with timestamps and approval status in a centralized compliance record

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Funder Report Requestedtrigger

A new report request arrives via email or a scheduled reporting date is reached. The automation is triggered with the funder name, period, and any custom requirements.

2. Fetch Volunteer Hours Data

The automation queries the volunteer management system or a linked Google Sheet to retrieve all volunteer hours, roles, and dates for the requested period.

3. Retrieve Survey Responses

Survey and outcome data are automatically pulled or a linked spreadsheet, with responses aggregated and deduplicated.

4. Calculate Impact Metrics

The automation computes total volunteer hours, cost savings (hours x standard wage), beneficiary count, and outcome percentages, storing results in a structured format.

5. Generate Report Document

A branded report template is populated with the calculated metrics and a standard narrative, formatted for the specific funder's requirements.

6. Notify for Approval

The generated report is sent to the Executive Director with a link to review and approve before sending to the funder.

7. Send Report to Funder

Once approved, the report is automatically emailed to the funder contact and logged with metadata for audit and compliance.
