Kali Foundation / Fieldnote
Request a Demo

A Kali Foundation tool for field-based teams

Enter it once in the field.
Use it everywhere else.

Fieldnote turns the data your team already collects, from planting and maintenance to monitoring and hours, into funder-ready reports, a live impact dashboard, and matched grant opportunities. Captured once, from a phone, on site.

Field entry from a phone Report by funder Dashboard live view Grant match new funding

One record in the field becomes a report, a dashboard, and a funding lead, with no re-keying.

The problem

Reporting eats the hours that should go to the field.

Most field-based teams collect real, valuable data, then lose hours pulling it into spreadsheets and reformatting it for whoever's asking. And as funding becomes more diverse, more people are asking, more often.

Every funder wants something different

Different data, different cycles: some by financial year, some by calendar year. Reporting becomes a job of its own.

Data gets entered twice

Field notes go into a spreadsheet by hand, then get pulled into a report by hand. Two chances for something to go missing.

Errors creep into manual steps

Every re-keyed figure has to be checked by a person, which means every report needs a person's time before it can go out.

Funding is more diverse, and less certain

As programme funding shifts and organisations lean more on a broader mix of funders and partners, showing clear impact matters more than ever.

The solution

One system. Entered once.

Fieldnote connects what happens on site to everything your organisation needs to show for it, without a single re-keyed figure in between.

PART ONE · CAPTURE & TRACK

1

Field capture app

Coordinators log planting, maintenance, and monitoring data on site, from a phone. It flows straight into one central system, with no re-keying into a spreadsheet.

2

Contract & deadline tracker

One view of every contract: what it funds, what it needs, and when it's due, so nothing is tracked from memory.

PART TWO · WHAT THE SAME DATA GIVES YOU

3

Automated reporting

Choose a date range and a funder, and get a formatted report out. Financial year and calendar year both run from the same underlying data.

4

Impact dashboard & grant discovery

A live view of your numbers across every project, and matching funding opportunities surfaced using the impact data you've already collected.

Take a closer look

Four connected modules

Fieldnote is one system with four jobs. Pick one to see what it does.

FIELD CAPTURE APP

Log it on site, on a phone

Coordinators record planting, maintenance, trap checks or monitoring data right where the work happens. It lands directly in one central system, and the spreadsheet step disappears entirely.

AUTOMATED REPORTING

Pick a funder, get a report

Choose a date range and a funder and receive a formatted report, with no manual pulling and no reformatting for each funder's cycle. Financial year and calendar year both draw from the same source.

CONTRACT & DEADLINE TRACKER

Never chase a deadline from memory

One view of every contract: what it funds, what it requires, and when it's due, so nothing depends on someone remembering.

IMPACT DASHBOARD & GRANT DISCOVERY

Show your impact, then find more of it

A live dashboard your board and funders can see any time, and the same impact data used to surface matching grant opportunities and speed up applications.

How it works

From the field to the funder

Capture in the field

Data is logged on a phone at the point of work, with no notebook and no spreadsheet to transcribe later.

Centralise automatically

Every entry flows into one system that everything else draws from, with no re-keying and no version confusion.

Report on demand

Any funder, any date range, formatted and ready, built from the same data every time.

Show impact & find funding

The same records power a live dashboard, board updates, and matched grant opportunities.

What's inside

Built around data you already collect

Field capture app

Log planting, maintenance or monitoring data on site, from a phone, with no re-keying, ever.

e.g. a trap check logged in seconds, mid-round.

Automated reporting

A formatted report for any funder and any date range, built from the same underlying data.

e.g. two funders, two cycles, one source of truth.

Contract & deadline tracker

One view of every contract: what it funds, what it needs, and when it's due.

e.g. no deadline missed because it slipped someone's mind.

Works with your current system

Connects to the booking and CRM tools you already use, rather than asking you to replace them.

e.g. no second system to keep in sync.

Impact reports for funders

Turn the same records into clear, branded summaries: trees planted, volunteer hours, litter removed, weeds controlled.

e.g. a one-page summary ready before a partner meeting.

Live impact dashboard

Your numbers across every project and region, available any time. Board updates and annual reports build from one source.

e.g. a board question answered on the spot, not next week.

figures, no double-checking

Fewer manual steps means fewer errors to catch before a report goes out.

hours back to the field

Time once spent pulling and formatting data goes back to the work your funding is for.

Looking ahead

Room to grow, only if you need it

Fieldnote starts with the data you already collect. As your programmes grow, so can the system built around them.

Deeper grant matching, reusing your impact data to speed up applications further.

More integrations with the booking, CRM and finance tools different organisations already run.

Custom impact categories beyond trees, hours and weeds, built around what your programme actually measures.

Connected Kali Foundation tools, as your organisation takes on more, one practical step at a time.
