3 Reasons to Seek Grant Consulting
Your Personal Liability
The rumors are true! As an executive, you are personally liable for your organization’s non-compliance with federal funding regulations. When you sign the dotted line on each expenditure, you are stating, “I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission of any material fact, may subject ME to any criminal, civil, or administrative penalties for fraud…” It is not only your organization that is at risk in the mismanagement of funds. It is YOU! Seeking technical consulting for the use of federal funds is a smart way to spend a small fraction of that funding.
Highly Technical Regulations
It’s no secret that government policies and procedures are a tough read. It can seem like a foreign language to people who are not already immersed in it. Moreover, the legal expectations and requirements that come with your grant can feel daunting to an inexperienced recipient, especially the new ARPA funding.
Your Time Is More Valuable
Let’s be honest, executives work many overtime hours in a week doing things that could be outsourced. Can you think of a better task to outsource than learning the technical jargon of federal regulations? This is no way to spend a Saturday! Why spend days learning something that an expert can solve in a couple of hours? A few consultation sessions could answer questions that might take weeks of rummaging through government documents to understand.
Stay mission-focused. Work smarter.
