A Step-by-Step Guide to Reporting, Site Visits, Storytelling, Project Management, and More
Series Description:
Winning a grant is a milestone, but it's only the beginning. What happens after the award letter arrives is where many organizations quietly struggle. Without clear systems for tracking expenses, gathering outcomes, communicating with funders, and distributing responsibilities across a team, even well-resourced organizations can find themselves overwhelmed at reporting time, scrambling to pull together data that should have been collected months earlier.
The consequences of poor grant management go beyond stress. Missed deadlines, incomplete reports, and undocumented outcomes can damage the funder relationships your organization has worked hard to build and jeopardize future funding. At the same time, grant management done well is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools for growing your grant portfolio.
This three-part webinar series, led by Amanda Day and Kimberly Hays de Muga of HayDay Services, offers a comprehensive, practical roadmap for managing grants from award to closeout and beyond.
