¿ìèÊÓƵ

This webinar provided essential guidance for ¿ìèÊÓƵ disaster grantees on managing grants throughout their lifecycle, covering performance plans, progress reporting best practices, financial management, timekeeping compliance, and contract approval processes. The training addresses all three disaster funding streams—Disaster Relief Emergency Grants, Disaster Supplemental Appropriations (DSAs), and the Midwest Legal Disaster Coordination Project (MLDCP)—and offers practical strategies for maintaining compliance, documenting grant activities effectively, and communicating proactively with ¿ìèÊÓƵ staff.

This webinar—the second in a two-part disaster grant series—focused on closing out ¿ìèÊÓƵ disaster grants. With many Disaster Supplemental Appropriation (DSA) grants ending in 2026, it provided guidance on key steps, timelines, and documentation for successful closeout, applicable across ¿ìèÊÓƵ disaster programs. The session covered major phases, including the debrief conference, final reports, financial reconciliation, and submitting closeout requests in GrantEase. It also addressed issues like award adjustments and underspending, and shared helpful templates and resources. Designed for project leads and grant staff, the recording is now available. Participants are encouraged to review Part 1.
