Federal Funding Management Resources, Webinars, and Office Hours

The  Environmental Protection Network (EPN), Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), along with Communities First and additional partners, are committed to supporting federal funding grantees by building resources, developing webinars and office hours, and providing 1:1 support, including: 

  • Legal and technical education and training on financial and programmatic compliance to ensure that funds are managed, spent, and reported on correctly
  • Direct legal and technical assistance on compliance issues and audits, inquiries, and investigations; and 
  • Proactive and crisis communications support to make sure that the public understands the benefits and importance of these grants.

Here is where you can request 1:1 assistance with a grants management issue.
