About this event
In many cases, government funding can offer opportunities for nonprofit organizations at a scale and for purposes that other sources cannot match. This training will unpack the fundamentals of government funding from the differences between grants and contracts to breaking down a request for proposal and your response to the compliance requirements that will help you successfully manage those funds and meet regulatory requirements. This training is aimed primarily at those who have little to no experience with government funding.
The Center for Nonprofit Management (CNM) and its partner BDO FMA are ready to assist organizations in accessing, applying for and managing current and upcoming American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding opportunities to serve LA County communities most impacted by COVID. We are especially looking to engage BIPOC-led and BIPOC-serving organizations operating under a budget of $2.5M in this effort to ensure equitable access to funding.
Who Should Attend: Anyone seeking an introductory understanding of grants, contracts, RFPs, compliance, and regulations.
