Grant & Compliance

Navigate funding requirements and regulatory obligations with confidence.

Grant funding comes with legal strings. Raphael helps nonprofits understand, document, and comply with the conditions that come with government and foundation grants — so you can focus on delivering your programs.

What This Covers

  • Reviewing grant agreements and identifying legal obligations and restrictions
  • Advising on use-of-funds requirements and reporting obligations
  • Supporting compliance with federal and state grant regulations
  • Drafting subgrant agreements and flow-down compliance provisions
  • Reviewing lobbying restrictions and permissible advocacy activities

Why It Matters

  • Grant terms are legally binding contracts — misuse of funds can trigger repayment and exclusion from future funding
  • Federal grants carry specific regulatory requirements that many nonprofits underestimate
  • Clear documentation of compliance protects the organization during audits

Who This Is For

  • Nonprofits receiving or applying for government grants at the federal, state, or local level
  • Organizations managing multiple grant streams with competing requirements
  • Finance and program teams that need legal support interpreting grant terms
