The Problem

7 Ways Nonprofits Lose Grant Money
Without Realizing It

These aren't fraud. They aren't incompetence. They're preventable systems failures — and we find them in nearly every organization we audit.

01
⏱
Timekeeping Errors
Avg. $15,000–$50,000/yr
Staff time on grant programs isn't tracked accurately by grant — so reimbursements go unclaimed.
02
⚖
Allocation Mistakes
Avg. $10,000–$75,000
Shared costs charged to the wrong grant trigger clawbacks and disallowed expenses.
03
📄
Documentation Gaps
Avg. $5,000–$25,000/audit
Expenses get voided when backup receipts can't be produced during an audit.
04
🧮
Indirect Cost Miscalculations
Avg. $10,000–$40,000/yr
Most nonprofits don't claim their full allowable indirect cost rate — leaving overhead money on the table.
05
🚫
Unallowable Expenses
Avg. $8,000–$30,000
Fundraising, lobbying, or board expenses quietly charged to grants get disallowed on review.
06
📊
Budget vs. Actual Overspending
Avg. $5,000–$20,000
Overspending a budget category without a prior modification request triggers automatic disallowances.
07
Missing Grant Closeout Documentation
You completed the grant work, but never submitted the final report. Funders don't forget — and they don't renew.
10–25% clawback + future funding loss
Combined Annual Exposure

What Nonprofits Say After
Plugging Their Leaks

"

We didn't realize we were leaving nearly $28,000 per year on the table through indirect cost underclaiming alone. PRIMUS fixed that in our first quarter together.

Community Services Nonprofit, NYC
"

Our last audit was the first one where we didn't have a single disallowed expense. The systems PRIMUS put in place gave our whole team confidence.

Finance Director
Youth Development Organization
"

We went from scrambling for receipts before every report to having everything organized automatically. I wish we'd done this three years ago.
