Over the past month, federal grant management has been under increased scrutiny, particularly as the new administration in Washington reviews federal spending related to grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts. While these developments may make the grant world feel a bit uncertain, there are proactive steps your organization can take to stay prepared and compliant.
Here are some key activities to focus on today to protect your organization:
- Review Grant Terms & Conditions: Carefully review the terms and conditions of federal and federal pass-through agreements to ensure compliance with current regulations.
- Collaborate with Your Finance Team: Work closely with your finance department to guarantee the proper allocation of costs, and ensure that drawdowns and reimbursement requests are submitted in a timely manner.
- Stay Informed: Keep up-to-date with the latest developments by subscribing to alerts, mailing lists, and webinars tailored to grants management.
- Explore Alternative Funding Sources: If you’re seeking funding, consider applying for foundation grants or opportunities from non-profit organizations.
