Yet many nonprofits resist investing in digital time tracking software, often citing that the current system works well enough.
However, manual timesheets are inefficient and error-prone, and staff often forget to complete them.
The right tool makes time tracking effortless and compliance automatic.









Switching to a digital tool transforms time tracking from a chore to a process that fits seamlessly into workloads.

Every grant contract is different, making it hard to track and abide by each agreement's terms and conditions.

Tracking time is one thing, but understanding its financial impact is another. Without a unified system, connecting time to costs is nearly impossible.

Volunteers often have multiple responsibilities, and without tools to plan and organize schedules, they can quickly feel overwhelmed and unappreciated.

In 2024, the Department of Labor introduced a new rule into the Fair Labor Standards Act that increased overtime pay eligibility. Therefore, nonprofits must either ensure everyone sticks to the 40-hour workweek or pay the increased costs.

Donors expect transparent, regular updates—not just on spending, but on how resources are managed. Showing strong accountability builds trust and increases your chances of receiving more grants.

With a limited workforce and finite funds, nonprofits must analyze existing resources and allocate them in the most efficient way.

Nonprofits can face audits from several regulatory bodies and authorities, including:





There's no nonprofit-specific discount, but the free plan supports up to 5 active users with no time limit, which covers many small organizations entirely.
The free plan includes unlimited projects and tasks, time tracking, billable rates, and detailed reports.
For larger nonprofit teams, the Pro plan is $8 per user per month (billed annually), which adds project budgets and alerts, approval workflows, audit logs, custom fields, and scheduled report exports.
Yes. You can set up volunteers and employees as separate users and assign them to different projects or tasks.
Volunteer time can be marked as non-billable so it's clearly distinguished from staff time in reports.
Each time log is tied to a specific project and task, so hours can be filtered and reported exactly as a grant requires — by program, funding period, or activity type.
Reports export to PDF or XLS, can include your organization's logo, and can be scheduled to send automatically to program officers or finance leads on a regular basis.
Custom fields let you add grant codes or funding source identifiers directly to time entries, keeping multi-grant allocation clean and auditable.
Yes. My Hours uses a client-project-task hierarchy, which maps naturally to a nonprofit structure — a funder (client), a grant or program (project), and activities within it (tasks).
Staff working across multiple grants simply log time against whichever project applies, and reports can slice the data by any combination of grant, program, team member, or date range.
Budget tracking per project means you can see how much of each grant's allocation has been consumed in real time.
Yes. Every time entry, edit, and approval is recorded in a full audit log, providing the transparent, timestamped records that nonprofit audits from the IRS, state agencies, or federal funders (such as 2 CFR 200 / Uniform Guidance) typically require.
The approval workflow — where staff submit timesheets and managers approve or reject — adds a layer of supervisory sign-off that auditors look for. Once approved, timesheets are locked so records can't be changed retroactively.
Not a problem. My Hours supports both real-time timer tracking and manual entry, so volunteers can fill in their hours at the end of the day or week using the timesheet grid.
utomated email reminders can be set up to nudge volunteers who haven't submitted yet, and managers can also fill in or adjust hours on behalf of others if needed — with all changes recorded in the audit log.
Track time with our seamless timer or enter your time through our keyboard-friendly timesheet. Add a description and custom inputs.
Automate calculation of billable amounts by setting precise hourly rates by project, task or team member. Add a project budget to monitor its progress.
With the Dashboard you’ll get a bird’s-eye view of billable vs non billable hours, earned income by project, under- or over-utilized employees and more.
Detailed reports are completely customizable and display as much information as needed. Print to PDF, export to XLS or send schedule it via email.
Add and assign tasks with an estimated budget. Create templates when identical tasks appear across projects.
Supervisors get email whenever timesheets are submitted. Each timesheet can be approved or rejected with an email message.
Invite your team to track time on their projects without seeing each other’s hours and rates. Designate managers to oversee their team and manage their work.
Lock team’s time logs to prevent editing or adding new logs in a selected period. Download the audit log report to keep your books in order.
Create numbered invoices straight from hours logged. Integrations with the most popular invoicing apps are available to all customers.
