INFORMATION
Training Overview

Master 2 CFR 200. Avoid or pass a federal grant audit.

This year, nonprofits are undergoing audits of their compliance with Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200). Under these federal grant rules, you must comply with the complex requirements for making, tracking, and documenting purchases. You must avoid missteps to protect your agency and its funding.

 

Spending federal grants in only allowable ways is a top responsibility of nonprofit leaders. To help you address the must-know rules, best practices, and hard-to-find tools, we have arranged a three-session certification series:
