Grants Management

Grants management can mean everything from administering the details of the grant to reporting and other requirements set by the funder.

Having an outside organization such as Grays Peak manage your grants can bolster the case for getting your grant.
A strong grant manager can also help you maintain strong, positive relationships with funders. 

For grant makers, effective grant management helps ensure your dollars are spent in a way that supports the mission and intent of the grant, and the outcomes of the program are well documented.

Our grants management approach encompasses every part of a grant’s lifecycle, from pre-award research through post-award grant closeout.
