Grant funders often conduct site visits. It’s a great way to ensure funds are being spent properly, programming is on track, and grantees are following policies and procedures. Not all site visits are created equal though – foundations and federal agencies have different purposes and practices when it comes to checking in on their grantees.

Standard Attachments: The Paperwork That Makes or Breaks You
Grant writing is such a misnomer. As grant professionals, we spend about 80% of our time working on a million other things. One of the most time-consuming aspects of grant proposal development is creating and gathering all the standard attachments. Some are pretty standard, and some not so much; but a grant requirement is a requirement.

Ripped from the Headlines: Is the Administration Weaponizing Grant Fraud?
When money is involved, fraud is a possibility. It’s one of the reasons we have so many rules, regulations, and reporting requirements surrounding grant awards: to ensure the funding is spent as intended. And it should be spent as approved in your grant budget. But lately, it seems like this administration is weaponizing grant fraud, and in some cases, simply using it as an excuse to terminate grant programs. We’re sharing recent examples – ripped straight from the headlines.

Advocacy for Your Organization, Profession, and Self
Many nonprofits don’t participate in advocacy for fear it will jeopardize their nonprofit states. The truth is, there is a big difference between lobbying and advocacy – and advocacy is allowed. For grant and fundraising professionals, advocating for your organization, your role at work, and yourself is important work.
