Federal Grants Trainings

Keeping your program running and in compliance with the requirements of your federal grant award means understanding and complying with the numerous laws, regulations and guidances surrounding grants. Our Federal Grants attorneys have trained thousands of organizations and hundreds of program staff, as well as Board members, through online webinars and in-person trainings with easily-digestible legal information, helpful step-by-step instructions, and essential information that organizations receiving federal grants need to know to stay in compliance.

FTLF provides a wide variety of training modules for Fiscal, Administrative and Programmatic staff involved with Federal Grants and Subgrants. Our offerings include training on topics such as:
