    For nonprofits

    Grants expertise, made operational.

    Expand your team's capacity.

    Built-in fund accounting and award tracking for lean nonprofit teams. Federal, state, and foundation grants each carry restrictions, budgets, and reports; Baylani keeps what each grant is for, what it requires, and what it has spent in one record, so a small team can stay ahead of it.

    We're working with a small group of early partners, including nonprofits.

    Submission stays with your team

    Baylani transmits to Grants.gov through its system-to-system interface when an authorized person approves the submission.

    Fund accounting

    Accounting that knows what each award allows.

    Use Baylani's built-in fund accounting

    Double-entry books with funds and restrictions, invoices and bills, bank reconciliation, journal entries, financial statements, and month-end close, with every dollar tied to the award that funds it.

    Or connect QuickBooks Online or Xero

    Already keep your books there? Connect read-only. Baylani ties that activity to your funding sources and awards and never posts back.

    Common questions

    Do we have to leave QuickBooks?

    No. Keep QuickBooks Online or Xero and connect it read-only, or keep your books in Baylani's built-in fund accounting. Moving existing books into Baylani is not self-serve yet.

    Does Baylani prepare our Form 990?

    Baylani includes a year-end 990 prep organizer from your books. It does not file the 990 for you.
