FAQ

What does mission360 help us forecast?

mission360 helps you look ahead at funding against your plans. It brings secured funding, confirmed commitments, and expected grant and donor funding into a view of what remains to be raised.

How is this different from our accounting system?

Your accounting system records financial activity. Revenue360 adds a forward-looking view of commitments and funding opportunities. See the section above for what it does and does not cover.

Can we use our existing financial data?

We’ll discuss which financial records and connections are available for your organization, how they are mapped, and how updates work.

How is expected funding calculated?

Expected funding depends on the opportunities and assumptions included in the forecast. Review the amounts, timing, and any weighting used before relying on the total.

Does a strong-fit grant count as secured funding?

No. A fit recommendation helps your team assess an opportunity. It is not an award or a probability of winning. An application being pursued must remain distinct from confirmed funding.

Can we compare different outcomes?

mission360 supports scenario views so your team can compare funding outlooks under different assumptions. The available controls depend on the current forecasting model.

Can we see the records behind the forecast?

You can inspect the supported forecast breakdowns to review contributing grants, pledges, and assumptions. This helps your team explain the figures and identify what needs checking.

Does the forecast guarantee we’ll have enough funding?

No. Expected funding remains uncertain. The forecast helps your team see assumptions, risks, and gaps so you can make better-informed plans.
