Head Start Grants Management 101

August 20, 2025

Federal funding creates many opportunities, but understanding and following all the rules and requirements can be quite challenging. This webinar provides an overview of key grant management requirements and fundamental award administration concepts.

Unlike other webinars that dive deeply into specific areas, this webinar provides a higher-level overview of effective compliance strategies. We designed it for maximum accessibility and for participants to understand common risks inherent in federal grants and cooperative agreements. This webinar is ideal for people who are new to grants, especially Head Start grants, or as a refresher for more experienced grants managers.


Please note: This webinar is offered as a complimentary product to all Head Start Training Package holders. For more information on our Head Start Training Package, click here or contact us.


The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase one week after the conclusion of the live webinar.
