Inside, you’ll find guidance on:
- How payments and reporting differ across government grants, foundation grants, and subgrants
- Setting up grant tracking systems, from folders and spreadsheets to accounting software
- Keeping systems running through kickoff meetings, regular check-ins, and funder communication
- Closing out a grant, including final reporting, record retention, and debriefs
Includes a sample tracking spreadsheet template and quick-start and closeout checklists.
