Why Policy Development Service?
Grant recipients may have general organizational policies and procedures in place at the time of award.
If these policies omit the specific rules of a grant funder, policy revision is not only necessary, but urgent.
Why?
Every funder requires its grantees to follow a unique set of rules in addition to the overarching laws of the IRS and government authorities.
Funder rules may dictate:
-
the type of bank accounts eligible to retain grant funds
-
how grant vs. agency money is processed
-
compensation requirements of personnel and 1099 (time and effort)
-
records retainment and privacy
-
procurement and subcontracting management processes…ad infinitum
Breaking funder rules means grant disqualification or having to pay back grant dollars.
Taking preventative action by revising agency policies (and then following them) deters backlash.
It is best practice for grantees to update their policies and procedures each time a grant is awarded. This “point-of-award” policy update is meant to align funder and grantee processes and rules.
Successful grantees will additionally conduct a formal review of policies, annually.
Policy development ensures both new and modified funder guidelines become a part of grantee operations and grant money handling. It offers crucial guidance to staff and stakeholders on the processes necessary to protect grant resources.
GranteeSupport offers technical review and drafting of grantee policies.
GranteeSupport can update grantee policies by drafting amendments, proposing full policy revision, or by establishing grant-specific policy guides for use by specific departments or teams.
Our help is available at point-of-award, annually, or when needed.
We can also assist with policy roll out and training (if desired).
Fast. Affordable. Professional. Deliverable.
“My nickname is the “Policy Wizard.” I can create policies from scratch or edit current policies. I’ve worked with clients operating as many as 35 grants at one time and also small start ups, prior to the incorporation stage. Rising grantee accountability standards make it impossible to operate from boiler-plated policy templates, especially if government money is involved. Let me do your policies right and keep them on track so your agency is protected.”
