Diverse funding streams are the key to many organizations’ financial sustainability. The complexity and high accountability of federal funding deters many organizations until they are more advanced along the grant readiness continuum. One of the first steps in being prepared to apply for federal funding that matches your organization’s priorities is to understand and be registered in appropriate federal grant portals.

In this webinar, federal grants expert, Julie Assel, GPC, will walk you through the processes that are required for all federal grant opportunities, the portals most commonly used to submit federal grants, and recommended processes for maintaining registrations even if your organization experiences turnover.

  • How to request a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number
  • The upcoming change from Duns and Bradstreet to Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)
  • How to register for the System for Award Management
