  • Review grant agreements and award documents and communicate grant requirements to the appropriate program, Finance, and administrative staff.
  • Work collaboratively with departments receiving grant funding to ensure they understand grant objectives, deliverables, allowable activities, reporting requirements, and timelines.
  • Monitor progress toward grant-funded objectives and identify potential concerns regarding performance, spending, deadlines, or compliance.
  • Maintain organized grant files containing applications, award letters, agreements, budgets, correspondence, reports, and other required documentation.
  • Assist in ensuring compliance with funder requirements and applicable organizational policies.
