Grant Funding 101
A grant is a way the government funds your ideas and projects to provide public services and stimulate the economy. Grant applications take many hours and lots of works!
Grant applications take many hours to complete. After grants are awarded, time is spent weekly to monitor and manage finances and outcomes.
Grants do not last forever. Grant money has an expiration date. An organization must constantly seek out and apply for grant funds.
Federal grants are paid on a reimbursement schedule. In order to receive grant funding, an organization must have money in the bank to cover expenses up front.
When organizations receive a federal grant, they have to pay taxes, auditing and other admin expenses.
