  Sep 3, 202643 minS9

  Ripped from the Headlines: Is the Administration Weaponizing Grant Fraud?

  Aug 6, 202640 minS9

  When money is involved, fraud is a possibility. It’s one of the reasons we have so many rules, regulations, and reporting requirements surrounding grant awards: to ensure the funding is spent as intended. And it should be spent as approved in your grant budget. But lately, it seems like this administration is weaponizing grant fraud, and in some cases, simply using it as an excuse to terminate grant programs. We’re sharing recent examples – ripped straight from the headlines.

  Jul 23, 202644 minS9

  Many nonprofits don’t participate in advocacy for fear it will jeopardize their nonprofit states. The truth is, there is a big difference between lobbying and advocacy – and advocacy is allowed. For grant and fundraising professionals, advocating for your organization, your role at work, and yourself is important work.
