Board Grant Portfolio QBR Template 2025
Give trustees a concise, data-rich view of grant performance each quarter. This QBR template combines pipeline, delivery, risk, and finance insight in one deck.
TL;DR
- Structure the QBR around four sections: pipeline, delivery, finance, risk.
- Pull data from Crafty dashboards, reporting calendar, and change control logs.
- Log trustee decisions and actions back into Crafty to inform future bids and variations.
QBR agenda
- Pipeline summary (top opportunities, win rate, resource outlook).
- Delivery/impact update referencing the leading indicator dashboard.
- Financial overview: spend vs budget, cashflow stress scenarios.
- Risk & compliance: serious incidents, change requests, consent status.
- Decisions & actions: approvals required, trustee asks, follow-up schedule.
Key takeaways
- Quarterly reviews keep boards sighted on grant performance and risks.
- Reuse the deck template for consistency and speed.
- Update Crafty immediately after the QBR so decisions inform future drafts.
