Grants Management and Administration Playbook
Identifying, obtaining, and administering grant funding is a complex process, with different concerns and needs at each stage. Our experienced team uses proven strategies to guide organizations through each step to help maximize funding.
CohnReznick helps state, local, and tribal governments identify available funding sources, align those sources to their portfolio of projects, and manage a complex application process to procure funds. Our services include:
• Legislation lobbying assistance to create desired funding opportunities
• Identification of appropriate opportunities that align with resources
• Fund procurement assistance
Once secured, grant and loan programs must be carefully administered over their lifecycle to avoid clawbacks, forfeitures, and negative public scrutiny. Our grant administration and oversight solutions help decision-makers navigate the complex web of compliance requirements and deadlines, so funds are fully and efficiently utilized. Services include:
• Award acceptance assistance to launch program
• Comprehensive program design for optimal efficiency and results

Once an agency has won an award, CohnReznick’s grant management team assists in precisely managing the funding, monitoring finances and performance, and making sure only allowable costs are charged to award. Additionally, we use real-time analytics and custom internal controls to vigilantly monitor against fraud, waste, and abuse. Services include:
