Case Study: The Task Force for Global Health achieves faster project tracking and reporting with Smartsheet

The Task Force for Global Health cuts donor reporting from 3 days to 3 minutes with Smartsheet

The Task Force for Global Health, a nonprofit focused on eliminating debilitating diseases, faced a critical administrative challenge. Managing a portfolio of nearly 200 research projects across 55 countries, the team was bogged down by inefficient tracking and reporting. Critical project information was scattered across lengthy spreadsheets and documents, causing staff to waste days searching for simple answers for donors, which diverted time from their vital field work in communities. They turned to the Smartsheet platform to address this.

By implementing Smartsheet for project, process, and portfolio management, the team consolidated all information into a single, real-time system. They used forms, sheets, and dashboards to track research from start to finish, vastly improving information access and reporting. Smartsheet enabled dramatic efficiency gains; a donor request that previously took three people three days was reduced to just three minutes. The team now produces combined annual reports for multiple donors in weeks instead of months and has clear visibility into all projects, allowing them to reclaim significant time to focus on scientific research and field work accelerating progress toward global disease elimination.
