Why Grantees Need Project Profiles
In one sentence
Grantees need project profiles to show funders what actually happens after funding.
Short answer
A project profile allows grantees to document progress, share updates, and build trust continuously instead of relying on one-off reports.
The problem with traditional reporting
- Reports are private
- Reports are static
- Reports are forgotten
- Each funder asks for something different
This creates duplicated work with little long-term benefit.
What profiles change
With a project profile:
- Updates are written once
- Visibility compounds
- Future funders see history
- Accountability is proactive
Why this matters for small grants
For grantees receiving funding from programs like Artizen or small foundations, visibility matters as much as the funding itself.
A profile turns small grants into credibility signals, not just line items.
How Karma fits
Karma provides free project profiles where grantees can document their work once and share it everywhere.
