One Client, Four Funders: Reporting Once and Answering Everyone
Oct 29 2026 11:00 AM MST
One organization, four funders. A municipal contract that wants bed nights and exits to housing. A provincial grant that wants outcomes by population group. A federal program with its own data requirements. A foundation that wants stories and impact. Four templates, four sets of definitions, four deadlines. And one team pulling it all together at quarter-end from spreadsheets, case files, and memory.
Most of that effort isn't spent serving people. It goes into translating the same work four different ways, and every translation is a chance for the numbers to drift. Funders feel it too: reports that can't be compared, figures that don't add up across agencies, and little sense of what actually changed.
Join us for a practical look at how to report once and answer everyone. We'll cover how funder reporting requirements overlap more than they appear to, how to design your records backward from the reports you owe, and how to build a process that makes reporting lighter for everyone.
-
Why the same work ends up reported four different ways, and what that costs your team and your data
Mapping funder requirements: finding the overlap between indicators, definitions, and reporting periods
Designing backward from the report: capturing each data point once, in a form every funder's report can use
What funders and system planners can do to reduce the reporting burden across the agencies they support
How Mareto can be set up so one set of records produces several funder reports, without double entry
-
Executive Directors, program and evaluation leads, finance and reporting staff, and the funders and system planners who read the reports in Canadian social service organizations. Whether you're juggling multiple funder requirements or trying to make the reports you receive more useful, this session offers a practical starting point.
