• Grants activity has increased significantly over the past couple of years
• States, cities, and agencies need to develop an overarching grants management strategy that will align with their business strategies
• States, cities, and agencies must provide business processes and coordination of efforts, information, reporting, compliance, and other considerations across the full grants lifecycle

• Governance, guiding principles, and portfolio management are the "glue" that holds a successful grants management strategy together
• Each and every key phase of the grants lifecycle requires specific skill sets to achieve success

• Proven approach and methodology
• Management knowhow — bluecrane has local government and grants management knowledge and experience; technology is only a tool
  
  • Management oversight
  • Portfolio management
  • Risk assessment and management
  • Transparency approaches — dashboard reporting for elected officials, departmental executives, and the public
• No long-term obligations — bluecrane rates are comparable to fully-burdened rates of public sector employees; avoid hiring permanent employees during hiring freezes and other budgetary difficulties
• Quick response/Immediate availability — Portfolio Management Services can be obtained through bluecrane's existing Federal GSA schedule or California CMAS
