Managing US Government-funded awards requires organizations to navigate a complex set of expectations, documentation standards, and accountability requirements. With the Department of State now the primary USG funder for many NGOs, and with USAID-specific regulations gradually phasing out for many programs, organizations need a clear, structured understanding of what compliance looks like in practice and how to strengthen systems before issues arise.
This practical, online course gives nonprofit organization staff a strong foundation in the core requirements of 2 CFR 200, including financial management, cost allowability, procurement, subaward management, monitoring, and closeout. Across six highly-focused webinars, participants build the knowledge and confidence to apply USG rules to their day-to-day award implementation, minimize compliance risks, and strengthen internal systems.
Learners will complete the course with a practical compliance toolkit, a clearer understanding of USG expectations, and a structured approach to preparing their organization for successful implementation and audit readiness.
Watch: In less than 30 minutes, Facilitator Keith Edwards covers everything you need to know about the latest US Government funding requirements.

I'm new to this sector having worked in the private sector for the last 15 years of my career and it's a very new challenge for me. What I loved was how Keith broke down the content into practical examples and made it more palatable and easier to understand and apply.
I only wish it was longer as I thoroughly enjoyed the three days!
