Rounds keeps a member's own grant pipeline - Product News

Rounds members can save grants, track applications by stage, see their deadlines in a calendar, total what they have won, keep reports and documents, and share with a colleague.

Rounds is the community app, separate from Backed's grant management, so this has no Help Centre article.

What's new

  • Save a grant. The heart on a grant card and Save on the featured round now work. Your saved grants are listed at Saved grants.
  • Track your applications. Apply opens the funder's own form in a new tab and then offers to track the application in Rounds. Track adds it straight away. You can also track one that is not in the grants directory by typing its name. Rounds sends nothing to a funder: each application's stage, amounts, due date and notes are your own record.
  • Your applications by stage. Applications shows them as a board on the desktop and as a list on a phone, with how many are at each stage.
  • Deadlines. A month calendar and the next 90 days list every close date, due date and report date in your pipeline. Download calendar (.ics) puts them in your own calendar.
  • My funding. What your successful applications came to, by year and in all, one line per currency. The dashboard and Home now show your real figures.
  • On your profile. When you mark an application successful, Rounds offers to show it in the Grants won tab of your profile.
  • Acquittals. Add the reports a successful application owes and mark each one submitted. Rounds reminds you, once, when one is due within 14 days.
  • Documents. Keep up to 200 files, 4 MB each and 50 MB in all, such as a PDF, a Word or Excel file or a picture, and attach them to your applications. Each file is checked for viruses when you upload it. Only you, and the people you share an application with, can download it, and someone you stop sharing with cannot download it any more.
  • Team. Share an application with someone you are connected with, so they can view it or edit it. Team lists what you share and what is shared with you.

On a phone, every one of these is in My work on the dashboard and in Settings. Trends is still marked Soon.
