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

  1. Pipeline summary (top opportunities, win rate, resource outlook).
  2. Delivery/impact update referencing the leading indicator dashboard.
  3. Financial overview: spend vs budget, cashflow stress scenarios.
  4. Risk & compliance: serious incidents, change requests, consent status.
  5. 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.
