Argenta tracks grants in two directions depending on whether your organization is receiving or giving grant funds.

Grants Receivable

Grants your organization receives from funders:

• Foundation grants
• Government grants
• Corporate grants
• Money coming INTO your organization

Access via: Grant Management > Grants Receivable

Grants Payable (Grants Out)

Grants your organization gives to others:

• Scholarships you award
• Community grants you distribute
• Pass-through grants
• Money going OUT of your organization

Access via: Grant Management > Grants Payable
