Has an organization you work with or know about ever had to return grant monies? It happens more often than you realize. From the funder’s perspective, a lot can go wrong.
Learn what ethical grant management means from both a funder’s and an applicant’s perspective. We will discuss capacity and grant readiness: how do you know if you have the capacity to manage an award from data collection to financial management, and how can you build that capacity within your organization?
Our presenters will also discuss topics such as: the difference between supplementing not supplanting funds; at what point should you reach out for help; red flags from a compliance perspective; strategies you can you use to ensure better management of grant awards.
Come with questions or send them in ahead of time and be prepared for a robust discussion!
