The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing updates to certifications for all federal financial assistance recipients—aligning requirements with recent executive orders and U.S. Department of Justice guidance on unlawful discrimination. These changes would apply broadly across all grants, cooperative agreements, and other federal funding vehicles. Hear how this change could introduce new compliance and legal exposure risks for both nonprofits and public entities, including civil and criminal penalties. It would also apply to sub-grantees with the onus on the prime awardee to monitor compliance, so state pass-through dollars also would be affected.

There is no doubt, to be done successfully, grant research takes critical time away from effective grant writing and grant relationship development and maintenance. However, without the appropriate amount of time spent on grant research, your relationship-building efforts, and especially your grant writing work will fall flat! Participating in “How to Supercharge Your Grant Research” will strengthen your grant research process.
In this live webinar, we will discuss how to best use the variety of tools available for foundation research to create and support your grant-seeking plan and strategy. We will look at opportunities for discounts or short-term access to reduce grant research expenses while supercharging your results from the research. We will also address the key role that your colleagues should play in the grant research process and how to get them excited and engaged to help keep their eyes open for grant opportunities.

With the next Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Notice of Funding Opportunity expected by the end of March, now is a critical moment for cities to act—especially those that have not yet applied or been awarded. This webinar will help city and town leaders understand how SS4A planning grants can be used to develop data-driven, community-centered safety action plans that align with federal priorities and position communities for future implementation funding. Participants will learn how the current administration is approaching roadway safety, what makes a strong and competitive safety plan, and how evidence-based strategies can be tailored to local context. The session will feature examples of impactful community safety plans from cities that have successfully leveraged SS4A and related federal funding, with a focus on practical insights for cities preparing to apply in the upcoming funding cycle.
