Non-profit timesheet software

analyze projects

Using nonprofit staff time tracking software ensures organizations comply with federal regulations and adhere to contractual obligations.


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.

Simple, Easy Time Tracking

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

Classic timesheet report
  • Low learning curve
  • Minimal setup
  • Start/stop timer for accurate time tracking
  • Fully-featured Android and iOS apps (that work offline)
  • Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browser extensions
  • Automated timesheet submission

Effective Grant Management

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

Analyze cost of projects and budgeting
No matter the number of funding contracts, My Hours simplifies grant management, keeping everything organized and customized according to each contract’s terms.
Set a client space for each grant stream and create projects and tasks according to each grant’s deliverables. Use custom tags to categorize data and custom fields to capture unique data.

Cost Justification and Budget Control

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

Work timer
Track everything to justify costs, including:

- Hourly user rates
- Expenses (including receipts and invoices)
Set monetary budgets at the project or task level. Get notified when a certain percentage of the budget is spent.

Improve Volunteer Time Management

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

Work timer
Users can only track time against the tasks they have been assigned, keeping volunteers focused on their designated work. Time-based budgets with automated alerts help volunteers stay within allocated hours.
Use historical data to compare similar past projects and help plan upcoming project schedules and workload distribution.

Manage Overtime Rules

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.

Work timer
Set target hours to keep overtime under control. Daily and weekly notifications alert users when they exceed or fall short of target hours.
Approval workflows allow managers to verify timesheets and approve or reject timesheets in one click.

Increase Donor Confidence

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.

Work timer
Flexible reporting options include:
- The Dashboard report: A high-level overview of time and costs.
- The Detailed report: Full data for deep analysis.
- The Timesheet report: Team time allocation and activity breakdown.
Export reports in PDF or XLS format, save report settings, and email directly or auto-schedule reports to send on your behalf.

Improve Resource Allocation

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

Work timer
Optimize resources through time and cost data to identify low-impact tasks, worker patterns, and resource-intensive periods. 
Identify and rectify process bottlenecks, find what’s depleting funds, and scale back.

Assure Nonprofit Compliance and Audits

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

  • IRS tax compliance audits
  • Federal “single” audit
  • State-level audit
  • Independent CPA audit
Work timer
To meet non-profit compliance and regulations, all activity is tracked and recorded in the audit log. The platform is compliant with major privacy laws and DCAA.
Enterprise-grade security includes data storage on the Azure Cloud platform, Single Sign On, and strong access controls and user hierarchies.
