Project Planner

Most grant work begins before there is a grant.

An organization decides to do something long before it finds funding for it. CivAura starts there: describe the initiative, and get back a plan you can edit that every later stage can use.

Plan

From a paragraph to a record

Describe the initiative. Get a fundable plan back.

A few sentences and an optional target duration are enough. CivAura writes the whole draft plan — every part of it editable, and every part of it reused by the grant work that follows.

  1. 01

    Overview and objectives

    What the initiative is for, stated in terms a funder will recognize.

  2. 02

    Success measures

    How the organization will show the project worked.

  3. 03

    Phased deliverables

    The work broken into phases with owners and dates.

  4. 04

    Timeline

    A recommended duration and schedule you can shorten or extend.

  5. 05

    Budget items and how each cost was worked out

    Line items with the reasoning behind each estimate.

  6. 06

    Team roles

    Who is expected to do the work, by function.

  7. 07

    Assumptions

    What the draft took for granted — stated, not hidden.

  8. 08

    Estimate confidence

    How much weight the draft numbers should carry.

Why this changes the economics

The expensive part of a grant application is the context behind it.

Not the writing. The scope, the budget reasoning, the outcomes, the organizational facts — the material that gets reconstructed from memory and old documents every single cycle.

Structure it once and the second application, the renewal, and the annual report all start from something real.

One connected system

What the plan is used for

Written once, used by every stage that follows.

Project Planner is not a document generator. What it produces is what the funding search, the application, the forms, and the reports all run on.

The funding search runs on it

CivAura searches from the real project — its activities, location, budget scale, and what kind of organization you are — instead of a keyword string.

Applications are written from it

Narratives, budget files, and attachments are written from details your team has already reviewed and approved.

Forms and portals fill from it

Repetitive fields on supported forms and compatible application websites are filled from the same plan.

Reports inherit it

Once you win, the objectives, measures, deliverables, and approved budget are already there — reporting is not a second research project.

Bring an initiative that has not found funding yet. We will show what CivAura structures in the first few minutes — and what it carries forward from there.
