Operation Bootstrap Africa partners with local communities and uses local resources to help people meet their ever-growing education needs. Their mission is based on the "bootstrap" philosophy of helping people help themselves.  Operation Bootstrap Africa raises money and then grants that money to various education projects. Almost 70% of donor support is from individuals, with another 25% from faith-based communities.

This presentation will discuss common challenges that organizations face in meeting federal grant requirements — and what your grant compliance program needs to include to address them. Together, we’ll cover internal controls over compliance, procurement requirements, sub-recipient monitoring requirements, required policies and procedures, and some best practices for grant management. More details and registration.
