Instrumentl Explores Grant Management Inefficiencies With Benchmark Study

According to a recent LinkedIn post from Instrumentl, the company is surveying grant professionals to benchmark the amount of unofficial “shadow work” involved in grant management. The post describes this shadow work as manual workarounds, redundant data entry, and time spent searching email threads, and invites participants to complete a short survey with a nonprofit donation incentive.

The post suggests Instrumentl aims to generate quantitative data that could help grant teams argue for additional resources and process improvements. For investors, the initiative may indicate ongoing product research to better address workflow inefficiencies in the grant lifecycle, potentially informing future platform features, enhancing customer stickiness, and strengthening the firm’s positioning in the grant management and nonprofit technology markets.
