Grants Management

Grant financing contributes to local capacity and positive resource transfers of donors. Futures Group uses well-established mechanisms to issue, monitor, and evaluate grants, and works closely with grantees to build capacity in financial management and fiscal responsibility by providing training on headquarter-field cost-control tools that aid in grant monitoring and link expenditure to specific deliverables.

By maintaining its strong grant management and grant capacity building activities, Futures Group ensures partners in developing countries are receiving and utilizing funds—effectively producing more sustainable results.
