Explain an under-spend Prompt

Spending on grant [GRANT NAME] from [FUNDER NAME] is behind schedule.

Grant period: [START] to [END]. Today: [DATE].

Draft an explanation for the funder that:
1. States the amount and percentage under-spent, by line.
2. Gives the reasons, using only the facts from program staff below.
3. Presents a month-by-month spending plan for the rest of the grant showing how we'll use the funds, based on the plan below.
4. If the plan won't use all funds by the end date, says so honestly and suggests options (budget modification, no-cost extension), as appropriate.

Keep it under 300 words. Tone: transparent, confident, not defensive.

Then show the spending plan as a table and check that it adds up to the remaining balance.
