The Nonprofit FAQ

What if we do get a federal grant?

The Grantsmanship Center (http://www.tgci.com) wrote in their "Funding Tip #10" -- August 9, 1996: If you get a government grant, read the pertinent "Management Circulars" published by the Office of Management and Budget. They're written in plain English, and they're free! They describe administrative and audit requirements for grants and cooperative agreements with state and local governments (A-102 and A-128), and uniform administrative requirements for grants to institutions of higher learning, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations (A-110). They explain cost principles for nonprofit organizations (A-122) educational institutions (A-88) and state and local governments (A-97). To order, write to the Publications Office, Executive Office of the President, Room 2200, Washington, DC, 20503 or call (202) 395-7332.
