One Client, Four Funders: Reporting Once and Answering Everyone
Oct 29, 2026 11:00 AM MST
One organization, four funders. A municipal contract that wants bed nights and exits to housing. A provincial grant that wants outcomes by population group. A federal program with its own data requirements. A foundation that wants stories and impact. Four templates, four sets of definitions, four deadlines. And one team pulling it all together at quarter-end from spreadsheets, case files, and memory.
Most of that effort isn't spent serving people. It goes into translating the same work four different ways, and every translation is a chance for the numbers to drift. Funders feel it too: reports that can't be compared, figures that don't add up across agencies, and little sense of what actually changed.
Join us for a practical look at how to report once and answer everyone. We'll cover how funder reporting requirements overlap more than they appear to, how to design your records backward from the reports you owe, and how to build a process that makes reporting lighter for everyone.
