Grant Basics: Grant Management
October 21, 2025
Grants can provide valuable opportunities for municipalities, but only when managed properly. Before applying for or accepting an award, it is essential to assess whether your municipality has the resources, time, systems, and expertise to meet the grant’s requirements, including reporting, compliance, audits, and project management.
Join VLCT’s Municipal Operations Support (MOS) team for an informative session on core grant management skills, with a deep dive into:
Understanding the grant agreement
Implementation and oversight
Monitoring and reporting best practices
Evaluation methods
Project closeout essentials
Together, let’s build the confidence and capacity that funders appreciate and communities deserve.
About the Grant Basics Series
This five-part series from our Municipal Operations Support team provides a practical, large-scale perspective on the phases of preparing for, pursuing, writing, and implementing grants. It also provides perspectives and tips from funders. Each session begins with a presentation then transitions to a participant Q&A where attendees can ask questions of the presenter(s). Bring your questions, share your successes and challenges, and learn from other communities.
