Donors, grants & restricted funds
Track every donor, grant, agreement period, fund restriction and reporting deadline, with expenses coded to donor budget lines, activities and locations.
The operating platform for NGOs
Impact Ledger runs the whole NGO cycle in one place: grant control and restricted funds, MEAL results, the people you serve, and donor reports you can defend. Built for the office and the field - it keeps working when the network doesn't.
Full product, no card needed. Set up in minutes.
One platform
Most NGOs stitch together accounting software, spreadsheets for MEAL, and paper for the field. Impact Ledger brings the whole operation into one system - so your reach numbers, your spending, and your results all reconcile.
Track every donor, grant, agreement period, fund restriction and reporting deadline, with expenses coded to donor budget lines, activities and locations.
Maker-checker approvals, shared-cost allocations, bank reconciliation and locked period close - the controls a donor audit expects.
Register partners, issue advances, and track liquidation and commitments so sub-grants stay accountable.
Register your results framework, record periodic results against targets, and disaggregate by sex, age band and disability.
Capture what worked, what didn't and what you changed while it's fresh - reusable at proposal and evaluation time.
Register the people you serve with informed consent and minimal data, group households, and link every service to the grant that funded it.
Programme staff file activity reports with participant counts from the field; managers review and sign off.
Budget-vs-actual against your results framework, grant statements, indicator progress and people reached - exported to Excel and PDF.
The board-level view: burn rate against time, funding by donor, indicator progress and people reached, month by month.
Positions, contracts, leave and staff self-service, plus goals and appraisal cycles under People & culture.
Requisitions to purchase orders with vendor screening, and a fleet log for trips, fuel, maintenance and compliance.
Executive director, finance manager, programme manager, MEAL officer, field officer, auditor and more - each sees only their work.
Why Impact Ledger
Four capabilities built for how NGOs actually work - in the field, across languages, and under a donor's scrutiny.
Register beneficiaries and file field reports where there's no network. Records save on the device and sync automatically when you're back online - and can't create duplicates, even if the connection drops mid-save.
Your donor report's reach figures come from individually registered, consented records - not a number typed into a spreadsheet. Disaggregation by sex and disability is counted, not estimated.
Impact Ledger drafts the report narrative from your live figures - executive summary, financial performance, results and reach - with clear placeholders wherever your team's judgement is needed. You stay in control of every word.
Use the platform in English, French or Kiswahili, switchable per user - so finance in the capital and field staff up-country work in the language they're most comfortable in.
How it works
Impact Ledger is strongest when the whole cycle runs in it - so the report at the end is a print, not a project. Every figure a donor reads traces back to a record.
Add donors, grants, restricted funds, budget lines and reporting dates under Controls & setup.
Code expenses and advances, file field reports, and register the people you serve - online or offline.
Record indicator results with disaggregation, and count reach from real beneficiary services.
Combine budget-vs-actual, results and people reached into an audit-ready pack, with an AI-drafted narrative.
Security & accountability
The due-diligence answers your board and donors will ask for, up front.
Sensitive actions are mirrored to a protected ledger that cannot be edited or deleted — enforced at the database level, not just in the app.
Maker-checker approvals separate preparation from sign-off, and locked reporting periods protect submitted donor reports from later edits.
Executive directors, finance managers, programme and MEAL officers, field staff, auditors and viewers each see only the work that belongs to their role.
Registration records informed consent with a timestamp and keeps personal data minimal; register exports are restricted to managers and audit-logged.
Encrypted in transit, database hosted on enterprise cloud infrastructure in the EU (Stockholm), and your reports and evidence export to Excel and PDF at any time.
Add Impact Ledger to a phone's home screen for an app-like, offline-ready experience - no app store, no install friction for field teams.
