On Dec. 26, 2013, the Council on Financial Assistance Reform (COFAR) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a new grants reform guidance measure. This measure merged eight previously separate OMB grant circulars into one “super-circular” intended to reduce administrative burden and risk of fraud, waste and abuse among recipients of federal grant funds. It will be important for Boys & Girls Clubs to monitor these new measures as all federal agencies, including OJP, must design regulations and adopt the reforms by the close of this year. The changes will most assuredly affect OJP funding that Clubs receive as well as other federal pass-through funds that Clubs may receive from BGCA. We will provide additional information and training as details emerge. Please look for more guidance in the fall issue of Grant Central.
