Training Opportunities
The New Jersey Grants Office will compile and share trainings opportunities to help grant seekers throughout the various stages of the grant lifecycle. Information will be posted here when additional training opportunities are scheduled.
12 pm
The New Jersey Department of the Treasury’s Grants Management Office invites you to a free Lunch & Learn webinar, The Policy Playbook: Required Grant Management Policies and Procedures.
Written policies and procedures are the backbone of a defensible grant management system, yet many organizations discover gaps only after a monitoring visit or audit flags them. This session walks participants through the policies federal regulations expect grantees to have in place, offering practical guidance on what to include and how to keep them current. Participants will leave with a clearer sense of where their own organization’s policy playbook may need strengthening.
The session will conclude with a live Q&A, offering attendees the opportunity to engage directly with the instructor. We are pleased to partner with GrantWin Consulting for this informative session. Grab your lunch, log in, and join us to sharpen your grants management skills—one webinar at a time.
