This platform is what we use to make formal reports (for example to the Board of Directors).Trello is the internal platform the grant team uses to track grant progress as well as administrative tasks. We have one 'board’ for admin tasks, one for HQ/NYC grants, and an individual board for each of the branches. The onboarding will include training.
