Federal Grant Compliance 2-Day Webinar

We invite you to join us for two half-day webinars on August 20th and August 27th, 2026, for Clark Nuber's Not-for-Profit Essentials Series: Federal Grant Compliance. Navigating federal grant compliance requirements can be complex and presents a high risk of noncompliance.

These two half-day sessions are dedicated to providing a comprehensive understanding of federal grants compliance, with a particular emphasis on the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Uniform Guidance and cooperative agreements received by not-for-profit organizations. Whether you're new to receiving federal grants or concerned about gaps in your knowledge given the ever-changing environment, this course is designed to be both informative and practical for anyone working with federal assistance subject to Uniform Guidance. The course will also cover the recent changes in federal regulations, grants management, and the federal grant landscape. It is particularly relevant for professionals in finance, grants management, program management, compliance, and executive leadership roles. Throughout the course, we will cover these key topics:

Day One:

What is the Uniform Guidance?

We will start the day with an overview of the Uniform Guidance, providing essential tips and techniques for effectively managing federal grants. This session will lay the foundation for understanding the compliance requirements and best practices for administering federal funds.

Grant Administrative Requirements

The administrative requirements imposed by the government for grants and agreements with not-for-profits can be overwhelming, even for experienced professionals. We will guide you through both the pre-award policies and the post-award financial and program management requirements, helping you navigate the complexities of compliance.

Day Two

Allowable Costs and Indirect Cost Fundamentals

Government cost principles for contracts and agreements with not-for-profits are comprehensive yet challenging to interpret. In this section, we will clarify the essential considerations for allowable costs, the distinction between direct and indirect costs, and explain why negotiated indirect cost rates are the most effective means of recovering these costs. If your organization receives federal grants or contracts, this section is crucial.

Single Audit

Audits are a routine requirement for nonprofits receiving federal funds, and understanding how to prepare for a Single Audit is essential. We will walk you through the basic audit requirements and highlight available resources to ensure you are well-prepared as an auditee.
