Managing the Grant After It's FundedFacilitating Organization and Name of Facilitator: Thomas-Forbes & Kester, LLC; Cheryl L. Kester, CFRE Location: Fayetteville Public Library Day of Week, Date, and Time: Tuesday, January 26, 1:00 – 5:00 pm Targeted Audience: This half-day workshop is designed for anyone interested in learning more about best practices for responsibly managing grant-funded programs, including federal grants. Development or program staff, Executive Directors, board members, and/or volunteers responsible for implementing grant-funded programs or submitting reports to funders will benefit. Program Description: This workshop will guide participants through every stage of effective federal and private grants management. Participants will be introduced to federal terminology and reporting practices as well as standard publications and regulations regarding spending and accounting for funds. Also included will be how to properly notify stakeholders of a grant received, appropriate stewardship and thanking practices, overseeing grant-funded activities implemented by program staff, meeting reporting requirements in a timely and effective manner, monitoring expenditures, and practicing good stewardship of grant funds. Program Goals/Objectives/Outcomes: Managing the Grant After It’s Funded will give you the skills you need to properly manage grant funds and effectively implement grant-funded programs. We often spend hours crafting an effective proposal, but when it is funded we can fail to follow through in ensuring that our organization delivers on all the promises made in the proposal. Our staff or boards frequently misunderstand how grant funds work, and so there are misunderstandings regarding how grant funds may be spent once they are received. As a result, grant funds may be spent on ineligible expenditures, components of the program may go unimplemented, or required reports may not be submitted. The results can be disastrous—freezing your funding, contributing to a poor reputation for your organization, or causing legal action against your organization or its personnel. This workshop will give you the guidelines and strategies you need to avoid these pitfalls and prove your worth to your funder and the community by delivering responsible, effective grant-funded programs and following the funder’s requirements and guidelines to make your organization competitive for future funding. Program Value: $50; However, one-half day consultant fee is normally $500. Program Fee: $25 per person Maximum number of participants: 20 Deadline to express interest: Thursday, January 21 Program interest may be expressed by contacting:
