As you continue to adjust your calendar and update your Tasks list, you'll definitely want to stay organized by tracking responses to your funding requests.
Once you hear back from a funder about a grant application you've submitted, you can update the grant's Status accordingly and record the response in your Tracker.
Response Statuses
After you've received a notification from a funder about a Letter of Intent (LOI) or full proposal application you've submitted, you can move an opportunity to an Awarded or Declined Status:
Awarded - Active: For grants you’ve won that still require ongoing action, such as report submissions or other deliverables.
Awarded - Closed: For grants that have been successfully completed with no outstanding tasks or reports.
Declined: For opportunities you've applied for but were not awarded.

Recording funder response data
Locate the relevant Saved Opportunity (i.e., grant) in your Tracker.
Open the Status dropdown field either directly from the Tracker view, or after you've opened up the opportunity page.
Update the Status from Application Submitted to Awarded or Declined, depending on the funder's response to your submission.
Awarded
Once you move your grant to Awarded - Active or Awarded - Closed, navigate over to the Overview tab of the opportunity page.
From here, you'll see the following fields:
Notification date: Add the date you were officially notified of your award. Entering the Notification date will not override any data captured separately in your Expected notification date field (if you change the Status back to Application Submitted, you'll see this field again).
Amount awarded: Enter the the dollar amount of your awarded grant. If you did not already fill out the original Amount requested, you can still do so to populate as much post-award reporting data as desired.
Declined
Once you move opportunity's Status to Declined, you'll have the option to record the Notification date. To do so, open up the opportunity page and navigate to the Overview tab.
Just like for Awarded opportunities, you can retroactively add the Amount requested even after changing the Status to Declined.
After all information has been entered, select Done at the bottom right hand corner of the grant page. Your funder response has been recorded.
If you've won a grant, it's time to move into post-award management!
If you were not awarded this time around, recording the funder response and the relevant fields is still beneficial as it helps you track metrics.
As you keep track of dates & awards, and adjust your tasks and deadlines accordingly, you'll also want to fill out as many relevant date & monetary fields to generate accurate reporting surfaced in your Awards tab, Opportunities/Awards Reports, Grant Performance Dashboard, etc.
If you'd like to record other types of funder response information, consider using Custom Fields to populate your own unique data fields!
