We've covered a lot of ground so far, and now come to the last chapter dealing directly with constituent-record data tools. In this chapter, we will discuss grant management. If you are an organization that manages and disseminates grants, CiviCRM provides some basic tools to help you collect and track details related to the grant management process. If your organization is typically on the other side of the equation, that is, applying for grants and not disseminating them, you may still find the CiviGrant tool useful for managing that process. Toward the end of this chapter, we will offer some suggestions for reconfiguring the CiviGrant component in a few small ways so that you can use it more easily to track the grants you are applying for.
