Grants Management Training Workshop

Course Overview

The role of Grants Management entails a complex balancing act, ensuring that project teams are motivated to achieve meaningful objectives while simultaneously meeting all obligations stipulated by the funding source. The effectiveness of Grants Management hinges on specific core principles, which are influenced by the operating style of your organization, the project’s complexity, and the nature of the funding source.

These principles play a crucial role in fostering trust with donors and streamlining the management processes within your organization.
