Register for Free Webinar on Feb. 3 about Coalition/Fiscal Agent Relationship

Many community coalitions are not legal entities and, thus, must utilize an outside agency as their fiscal agent or grantee for federal grant funding applications. This is especially applicable to community coalitions applying for Drug Free Communities Support Program (DFC) funding and many of the current DFC grantees. When not properly negotiated, the fiscal agent/coalition relationship can be challenging. To help coalitions better manage this relationship, CADCA's National Coalition Institute will host a webinar Feb. 3 at 3 p.m. EST.

The webinar, "Navigating the Fiscal Agent/Coalition Relationship," will examine the “ups” and “downs” of this relationship with an emphasis on what coalitions can do from the beginning to avoid potential problems. In this session, CADCA presenters will explore:

1) The five topics that must be addressed between fiscal agents and coalitions
2) The proper decision-making balance when preparing budgets and selecting funding priorities,
3) The legal and federal obligations for financial management and
4) How to wrap all this up into an effective memorandum of understanding (MOU).
The sessions will feature CADCA trainer Rhonda Ramsey-Molina as presenter and Kristy Miller, Manager of Technical Assistance for the Institute, as moderator.

All coalition members and stakeholders are welcome to participate in the session on Feb. 3 from 3:00-4:30 p.m. EST. Register here for Navigating the Fiscal Agent/Coalition Relationship.
