Communications

The demands for a grant program's communications content and form vary according to its relationships, guidelines, and preferences. In every case it's important to ensure a clear and timely flow of meaningful information both to and from the program. We can help with:

Communication internal to the program

• Developing meeting schedules, agendas, materials, and minutes to ensure productive meetings
• Handling meeting logistics to support productive work environments
• Compiling and managing project plans and action item lists to ensure follow-up
• Developing forms and reports to present meaningful information in standard formats, such as
• reviewer questionnaires
• evaluation summary reports
• grant portfolio status reports

Communication between the program staff and applicants and grantees

• Designing and improving forms to capture highest-value information and enhance usability, such as
• grant applications
• grantee performance reports
• grantee surveys
• Developing and improving grantee manuals and instructions
• Instituting effective channels for routine grantee support
• Planning and conducting in-person meetings with current and prospective grantees

Communication between the program and the community

• Complying with Sunshine Laws, where applicable
• Developing web site content
• Writing and publishing annual reports
