Grants Management Services

The Professional Group’s Grants Management staff has a wealth of experience in applying for and managing federal programs, state projects, and competitive grants. Our staff works closely with educators and administrators to take their ideas and refine them into compliant, approvable grant projects that are easy to track and manage through accounting software.
