How you create and maintain your grant budget is essential to meeting funder reporting requirements and maintaining compliance with internal financial policies and processes. Accurate and comprehensive grant budgets and spend plans are key for an organization to effectively scope and implement their projects, empowering them to track and monitor progress as well as identify risks that need to be mitigated along the way.
Once the budget plan is built, you’ll need a process for tracking, reconciliation, and reporting (which all becomes more complex if you are also regranting funds). Ultimately, all of this should not only support your compliance efforts but also amplify the impact of your programs. While essential, it can certainly feel daunting.
