Federal Grants - Federal Grant Management: Financial Requirements
Session 11 of the Federal Grants Series

The most common concerns related to federal grant management are around the financial requirements. These requirements include paying staff, contracting for services, travel, and purchasing materials. This session will discuss the most common policies and procedures organizations should consider ideally before writing a federal grant or if not done that early, as soon as a federal grant is awarded.

What you will learn: 

• Best practices for staff time and effort tracking
• Best practices for procuring materials and services
• Best practices for local and national travel
• How to transition from just implementing best practices to formal procedures and policies

GPCI Competencies and Skills: 4.9, 4.10, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5

The trainers for these sessions are all credentialed grant professionals (GPCs) through the Grant Professional Certification Institute and Approved Trainers with the Grant Professionals Association. 

Length: 60 minutes

FEDERAL GRANTS TRAINING SERIES

Most people consider federal grant training to be a more advanced form of grant writing and management. We at Assel Grant Services do a lot of work with federal grants and we believe that federal grants share a lot of characteristics with significant federal grants. That said, there are a lot of nuances unique to federal grants to learn. This professional development series is designed to help nonprofit professionals who have never written a federal grant be as prepared to step through the federal grant pre-award and post-award process for the first time with confidence.

These sessions are designed to support nonprofit professionals before and during their first federal grant. If you don’t tune in before your first opportunity comes out, this series can be managed during a typical six to eight-week federal grant funding cycle.
