What Is Inside

The work that happens before the application

Most of what decides a grant outcome is settled long before a narrative gets written. These are the tools that handle that part.

Pre-Award Document Drawer

The documents funders ask for every time, gathered and organized before the notice drops.

Federal Budget Categories

What belongs in each cost category, and how to build a budget that holds up under review.

Indirect Costs and NICRA Decoded

Indirect cost rates in plain language, including de minimis, MTDC, and when negotiating a rate is worth it.

Go or No-Go Checklist

A clear way to decide which opportunities deserve your team's time and which ones to pass on.

SAM.gov Renewal Checklist

Keep your entity registration current so a lapsed record never costs you a deadline.

Guides and templates

Practical references on readiness systems, funding strategy, and post-award compliance under 2 CFR 200.

New resources are added to the Hub throughout the year.

Who It Is For

Built for the people doing the work

Local government staff

Administrators and program staff managing federal awards alongside everything else on the desk, accountable to elected officials and to the public.

Nonprofit teams

Executive directors, development leads, and grant managers building a funding portfolio with the capacity they have right now.

$1.25 Billion

Secured in Competitive Grant Funding

The Grant Project partners with local governments and nonprofits on grant readiness, funding strategy, and federal compliance. The resources in this library come from that work, and they are the same ones we hand our clients.
