Financial and Grants Management Resources
Welcome to the Financial and Grants Management Resources home page. This page provides an index to all Corporation for National and Community Services (CNCS) financial and grants management related resources found on, or referenced by, the Resource Center. The index was created to help potential and actual CNCS grantees and subgrantees, as well as CNCS staff and others, locate current resources.
The index includes: training materials, online courses, webinars, tools, forms, examples, guidelines, effective practices, policies, procedures, and links to selected CNCS policies, procedures, guidelines, award provisions, rules, and regulations.
For ease of reference and to facilitate quicker access, resources have been placed under one or more of the following five categories:
- Resource Types
- Grantee Organizational Policies, Procedures and Other Matters
- Grants Management
- Funds Management
- Official CNCS Issuances, Documents and Guidance
(Note: these categories are not necessarily mutually exclusive and some subject materials may be found under one or more categories).
Resources may be accessed by topic or by type of resource. Only those resources issued by CNCS have been reviewed and approved by CNCS. All other resources have been developed or issued by MBI Consulting or others and while intended as helpful assistance or guidance they are not official CNCS issuances, policies, or procedures.
Suggestions for changes, corrections, additions or deletions to this index or to any of the resources themselves are encouraged, and should be addressed to MBI Consulting at: cforrester@mbicfs.com or (301) 986-1595.
This index was developed by MBI Consulting, the CNCS training and technical assistance provider for financial and grants management with the assistance of ETR Associates, which administers The Resource Center, as the CNCS knowledge management training and technical assistance provider.
