Services
Team DWC works with public servants, educators, and nonprofit leaders who are responsible for managing federal and state funding, and who need support that is practical, clear, and grounded in real experience.
Federal grants come with a lot of responsibility. The rules are complex, expectations are high, and the work matters. Our services are designed for organizations that already have federal funding in place, or are preparing to manage it, and are ready to build the systems and structures needed to do it well.
Whether you're leading a school system, managing a grant portfolio, or trying to demonstrate the impact of your programs, Team DWC provides the guidance and support to help you get the work done right.
Our Process
Every engagement is custom-built around the needs of the organization because no two grant programs operate the same way.
We don’t bring a preset model or a one-size-fits-all approach. We start by understanding how your organization operates, its programs and systems, and where challenges are showing up.
From there, we work alongside your team to identify gaps, conduct grant risk assessment, prioritize what matters most, and develop practical solutions that fit your structure and capacity.
Our support is hands-on and tailored. That might mean targeted training, ongoing advisory support, or deeper engagement around compliance, evaluation, or systems building.
Throughout the process, our focus is the same: make complex requirements clear, strengthen how your organization operates, and leave you with systems that are sustainable long after our work is done.
Training
Organizations that want to strengthen their team’s understanding of federal grant requirements, compliance expectations, and grants management best practices.
The Challenge:
Federal grant regulations and oversight requirements are constantly evolving, particularly under 2 CFR 200. Many organizations struggle to keep staff, leadership, and boards aligned on what those rules mean in practice.
Our Approach:
Team DWC designs and delivers custom training programs tailored to the needs of each organization. Training can be delivered in person or virtually and focuses on practical guidance that teams can apply immediately.
Training topics may include:
-
- 2 CFR 200 compliance and Uniform Guidance training
- federal grants management fundamentals
- oversight and accountability practices, including subrecipient monitoring
- board and leadership readiness for federal funding compliance
- single audit preparation and audit readiness
Our goal is to equip your team with the knowledge and confidence to manage federal funding effectively.
