Making End-of-Year Reporting Easier for Grantmakers
As we enter Q4, grantmaking organisations everywhere are busy compiling reports, analysing outcomes, and preparing for annual reviews. End-of-year grant management reporting can be one of the most time-consuming parts of the grant cycle, but it’s also one of the most valuable. It’s the moment when data turns into insight, helping funders measure impact, identify trends, and plan for the year ahead
From chasing spreadsheets to reconciling siloed systems, we know how painful this process can be. That’s why AIMS has been helping grantmakers streamline reporting for over 30 years.
At AIMS, we understand how complex reporting can be. Our system is designed to make it easier – helping organisations produce accurate, insightful, and engaging reports with minimal effort.
Why End-of-Year Reporting Matters
Reporting isn’t just about accountability – it’s about learning. End-of-year data helps grantmakers:
- Evaluate the success of funding programmes
- Understand where grants are having the most impact
- Identify opportunities for improvement
- Communicate achievements to boards, funders, and the public
Having reliable, consistent data at your fingertips is essential to achieving these goals.
How AIMS Simplifies the Process
Trusted by over 30 grantmaking organisations across Europe, AIMS reporting is powered by Jaspersoft, one of the world’s leading business intelligence and reporting tools.
With AIMS and Jaspersoft, you can:
- Generate detailed reports at the click of a button
- Create dashboards and visualisations to make data easier to interpret
- Customise reports to suit internal or external audiences (boards, funders, regulators, or the wider public)
- Automate routine reporting, saving time and reducing errors
- Export data into multiple formats for board papers, annual reports, or funder communications
Whether you need a high-level funding summary or detailed performance metrics, AIMS provides a flexible, intuitive way to get the information you need.
From Data to Insight
The real power of end-of-year reporting lies in turning raw data into actionable insight. With AIMS, organisations can go beyond numbers to see the bigger picture – which programmes are achieving the greatest impact, which areas need more support, and where future funding should be focused.
Jaspersoft’s interactive dashboards allow grantmakers to visualise trends and share findings across teams, creating a more data-driven culture of decision-making.
