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.
