Federal Grant Management Toolkit

Receipt of federal funding can be simultaneously an excellent opportunity and a frightening proposition. Regardless of an organization’s mission, federal funds expand the scope of what it can accomplish. However, those funds come with many strings attached. If an organization does not fully understand or comply with those strings, the resulting consequences can be significant and severe. 

The Federal Grant Management Toolkit is designed to help both new and experienced grantees navigate the rules of the federal grant system. 

Our Toolkit includes customizable sample policies, procedures, and checklists, including:

  • Financial Management Policy
  • Property Management Policy
  • Procurement Policy and Procedures
  • Subaward Risk Assessment and Monitoring Policy
  • Audit Services RFP

While many specific practices and regulations vary from agency to agency and program to program, this Toolkit serves as a useful resource on the systemic rules and requirements that apply to all federal grantees.
