Independent research methodology

Pros

“I also like how you can link to Aatrix for 1099 printing. ”

Amy O.

Payroll and AP Manager

“Helps extremely well with sending out 1099's, setting up new projects, vendors and having the ability to cut in house checks and sending out checks (physical or electronic draft)”

Natasha H.

Human Resource Associate

“I don't feel like they were rolling out very many updates.”

McKenna C.

Accountant

Pros

“Beyond grant discovery, it has transformed the way our team manages grants by keeping projects, tasks, and deadlines organized in one place.”

Cindy S.

Development and Outreach Officer

“It has saved me so much time being able to fine tune my applications as well as save me from pursuing potential funders who did not align with my organization's mission and goals.”

Sarah H.

Development Operations and Grants Manager

“I like how in-depth I'm able to research a funder before I even attempt an outreach, allowing me to best utilize my time and resources to ensure that I am making the most of all grant/stewardship opportunities. Because of Instrumentl, I've been able to impress donors with an in-depth knowledge of their funding priorities, history of giving, and preferred geographic range.”

David B.

Grants and Development Manager

Cons

“I didn't like that we couldn't integrate Expensify with it, and that the reports that we generated as excels weren't easily filtered.”

McKenna C.

Accountant

“The receivable module is still not available in the browser view nor are the EFT payments in Canada.”

Colin F.

Business Administrator

“It takes a very long time for support and usually the ineffective solution is that we should clear our cookies or history, or we are sent something to read.”

Jennifer S.

CFO

Cons

“I did not like the fact that I had to download an expense template, add my information to the sheet and then upload it.”

Laquisha V.

Grant Fiscal Manager

“The only thing that bothers me is that if I find a grant and save to a project, and the officer decides not to apply, there's no way to just remove the grant. ”

Kelly B.

Prospect Research Strategist
