Case Study: Los Angeles LGBT Center improves grant management efficiency with Instrumentl

Los Angeles LGBT Center cuts grant admin time to under 30 minutes with Instrumentl

The Los Angeles LGBT Center, a major provider of health and social services, faced significant challenges in managing its complex $5 million grant portfolio. Relying on inefficient Excel spreadsheets, Manager Mitch Carr and his team spent hours each week tracking deadlines and documents, which limited their capacity for strategic planning and building funder relationships. To modernize their process, the organization adopted the grant management platform Instrumentl.

Implementing Instrumentl provided a centralized solution that dramatically streamlined the Center's grant administration. The software's features, including automated reminders and chronological tracking, reduced the time spent on weekly tasks from up to four hours to less than 30 minutes. This new efficiency allowed the team to quickly onboard new members and focus on high-impact opportunities, resulting in them securing a major $500,000 grant for a homelessness project. Instrumentl enabled the Los Angeles LGBT Center to reduce its administrative burden and deepen its community impact.
