Creating Ethical Grant Budgets and Sustainability Plans 
Session 6 of the Ethics Series:

For many organizations, a federal grant will be a significant expansion to an existing program or the initial funding for a program that does not yet exist. This can make the creation of grant budgets a very speculative process. In addition, agencies may not know when the write the grant exactly how they will sustain the program after the federal grant is finished. This session will discuss how to ensure that discussions about grant budgets and sustainability plans are anchored by current processes and a commitment to best ethical practices.

What you will learn:

• Best ethical practices for creating new grant budgets
