Case Study: The Center for Victims of Torture expands grant funding and streamlines grant management with Instrumentl

The Center for Victims of Torture expands grant funding with Instrumentl, applying to 15–20 grants in months

The Center for Victims of Torture (CVT) was facing significant challenges in managing its high-volume grant operations. Using outdated tools like Google Sheets, the team struggled with missed deadlines, inefficient tracking, and a lack of visibility across its pipeline. As funding conditions shifted, CVT needed a better system to prospect for new funders and manage the entire grant lifecycle efficiently. This led them to discover the platform Instrumentl.

By implementing Instrumentl, CVT consolidated its grant workflow using features like Grant Tracker and Instrumentl Apply. The solution provided critical structure and visibility, enabling the team to manage over 150 applications a year more effectively. Instrumentl helped them identify new funders in previously untapped regions, leading to a program becoming their most financially sustained. The platform also allowed them to reclaim time by streamlining small grant applications and building a proactive stewardship system, ultimately helping to close a significant funding gap.
