Get ready for 2024 Major Federal Grant Management Revision—Effective October 1st! Our Grant Cost Rules Certification series offers you the chance to learn, ask questions, and stay ahead of these significant changes. 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. Spending federal grants in only allowable ways is a top responsibility of nonprofit leaders. You need to avoid missteps to protect your agency and its funding.
