According to a recent LinkedIn post from Instrumentl, the company is highlighting research that suggests a high operational burden in nonprofit grant management, with 87% of nonprofits reportedly walking away from, delaying, or downsizing grants. The post also cites data that 30% of respondents left $100K or more unclaimed, attributing this to so‑called “shadow work,” including manual spreadsheets and repeated data collection.

The LinkedIn post indicates that Instrumentl plans to release findings from its first sector‑wide study on this invisible labor on March 30, based on input from more than 1,000 nonprofit professionals. The company is also promoting a live event featuring recognized grant experts to discuss the results, which may position Instrumentl as a thought leader in grant operations and could support future demand for its workflow and grant‑management solutions.
For investors, the emphasis on quantifying the cost of operational inefficiencies may signal a growing addressable market for tools that streamline nonprofit funding processes. If Instrumentl can convert this research and associated events into product differentiation and higher customer acquisition, the initiative could strengthen its competitive positioning in the nonprofit technology segment over the medium term.
