Grant Administration Support

Successfully managing federal, state, and foundation grants requires rigorous project management, careful attention to detail, and strong collaboration. 

CFS delivers tailored grant administration support to manage funding with clarity, efficiency, and confidence. From pre-award negotiation to post-award implementation, we partner closely with your organization to ensure every requirement is met, every report is accurate, and every process is aligned with best practices.  

Our support during the award negotiation phase includes a comprehensive review of award agreements. We assist with proposal revisions, ensure all required documentation meets the funder’s expectations, and align your internal systems with award requirements. As part of our commitment to building long-term capacity, we assess your internal systems to identify challenges and implement improvements that strengthen your grant administration process. In addition, we offer support in developing procurement solicitations, including Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Requests for Quotes (RFQs), to help you attract and select the best partners to execute the project. 

During the project’s implementation, we work with key personnel to develop internal procedures to ensure full compliance with federal Uniform Guidance and private foundation standards. This includes support on critical areas such as sub-recipient eligibility, allowable costs, and procurement processes. Our team works closely with you to prepare timely, accurate, and audit-ready reports. We also provide templates and toolkits that standardize documentation and minimize the risk of noncompliance.  

By collaborating with your team, we streamline processes, build capacity, and establish sustainable administrative practices.
