With Great Funding Comes Great Responsibility

Overview

In many respects, adhering to grant compliance requirements is just as important as winning the award in the first place. Whether you've received funding from a federal agency or a private foundation, there's more to do than simply meet program objectives and deliverables. Staying compliant creates an on-going relationship between your organization and your funder and is integral to the successful implementation of any award, regardless of the funding source. Unfortunately, many organizations view compliance solely as a finance or administrative task when, in fact, organizations should take a multi-disciplinary approach to compliance. In this session, we will discuss ways to engage programmatic staff in grant compliance activities, and why it's critical to do so.
