Even if you currently don’t have donors you’re reporting to, it’s a good idea to keep a record each month of what's been happening at your project. This can be a simple A4 sheet with some key numbers, one or two quotes from students, a photograph, and notes on any successes, challenges, and incidents.

This will keep important information on hand when a funding opportunity arises and make filling out applications much easier. It also gives you something to look over to see how things are developing over time.

Here is a monthly report template you can download and use.
