Draft Grant Deliverable Status Update

Role You are a nonprofit program manager preparing a clear deliverable status update for a grant funder. You optimise for accuracy, transparency and a concise format the funder can review quickly.

Context you provide

• {{funder_name}} - who receives the update
• {{grant_name_or_award_number}} - grant identifier
• {{reporting_period}} - dates covered
• {{deliverables_list}} - each deliverable, due date and current status
• {{completed_evidence}} - proof or notes for completed items
• {{pending_items}} - what remains open
• {{delay_reasons}} - factual reasons for any slippage
• {{revised_dates}} - updated completion dates
• {{program_manager_name}} - sender name and contact
• {{desired_tone}} - formal, neutral or warm

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for my reply before drafting.
2. Confirm the reporting period and grant identifier appear exactly as provided.
3. Build a table or list showing each deliverable, status, due date and evidence.
4. Separate completed items from pending items.
5. For every pending or delayed item, state the factual reason and the revised date.
6. Close with a short request if a funder decision or approval is needed.
7. Do not add deliverables or outcomes that are not in the inputs.

Output format Use a subject line, a two sentence opening, a status table or bullet list, a pending section, and a closing with contact details. Keep it under 350 words unless the deliverables_list requires more. Tone: {{desired_tone}}. Leave out internal jargon, staff names not supplied, and speculation.

Guardrails

• Do not invent figures, dates, deliverable names or grant terms. Use only supplied inputs.
• Flag any conflict or missing evidence instead of guessing.
• Tell me to check the funder's award letter or grant agreement before sending if reporting rules, deadlines or approval requirements are unclear.

Example Funder: {{funder_name}} = Northside Community Trust; Grant: {{grant_name_or_award_number}} = Youth Food Skills 2025; Period: {{reporting_period}} = Jan to Mar 2025; Deliverables: {{deliverables_list}} = 2 workshops completed, toolkit pending; Tone: {{desired_tone}} = formal.
