Award Closeout: Let’s Start at the Beginning
Presented by Jennifer Zarek, LSSYB, AmpliFund



While closeout may come at the end of the award program, preparing for it starts on day one. Closeout requires reconciliation of both expenditures and activities against the budget and within the parameters of the award agreement. Ultimately, you must show that you spent your funds in a way that enabled you to achieve your documented goals. To effectively demonstrate this at closeout, you must have processes in place from the start and establish periodic checkpoints to ensure that your program stays on track and activities, as well as expenses, are appropriate and documented.

In this webinar we’ll cover:

  • What is needed for closeout – for both the grant maker and recipients

  • Common missteps that you can avoid

  • Practical strategies for successful closeout

You’ll walk away with two checklists – one for grant makers and another for grant recipients – to help you implement the steps we discuss.

Two Goals, One Grant:
Maximizing Grant Impact for Resilience and Beyond
Presented by Hagerty Consulting



The most effective grants can be those that accomplish multiple goals simultaneously, whether for resilience measures, economic viability for a community’s businesses, housing opportunities, or critical infrastructure like roads and rails. This session will help attendees map out their grant goals strategically, ensuring compliance while gaining the greatest return on investment of time and resources.

Learning Objectives:

  • Increase awareness of how to map fund allotments across an award to ensure that the maximum amount of goals can be met simultaneously while being in compliance

  • Show examples of strategic mapping for organizations to deliver on planning goals

  • Highlight partner understanding of our ability to identify creative approaches to grant management, such as those that incorporate technical assistance, LMI population inclusion, and more
