Updated: The Local Government Guide to Managing Grants

Best practices and resources for local grant oversight and performance reporting.

Federal funding cuts, paused (or canceled) grant programs, and rising performance standards have made it harder for local governments to manage grants effectively. At the same time, expectations around compliance, reporting, and community impact have only grown.

This updated guide breaks down the most common challenges localities face today, such as staying audit-ready, managing subrecipients, and leveraging limited capacity, and offers actionable ways to respond.

Inside the guide:

  • Guidance on staying current with the latest compliance requirements
  • Steps to improve internal controls and reduce audit risk
  • Tools for managing performance, reporting, and funding sources
  • Downloadable templates to put best practices into action
