or if you're not sure, this webinar is for you!If you
currently have a contract with any New York State Agency, you should have
already heard about the NYS "Grants Gateway" and that as a
grantee, you are required (regardless of organization size or amount of grant) to
go to the Grants Gateway and go through the "Prequalification"
process.This webinar will cover the operational "how
to's" of the Grants Gateway portal. NYCON will also have staff on

 Are
you in the process of becoming 'prequalified' with New York State in
order to receive funding for a contract currently in place or for future
funding for which you'd like to be considered? Your
prequalification status may be delayed for multiple reasons. If your
application is being held (or if you haven't been able to complete it)
due to questions about any of the following reasons this webinar will be
a great resource for you.
- Operational
documents (charitable determination letter from the
IRS, audit, IRS Form 990, Organizational chart, etc.)
- Governance
Policies & Practices (internal controls, separation of
duties, nepotism and other clauses in your bylaws and personnel
policies)
- Other
Documents or Governance Policies that you
don't have and aren't sure how to create.
In this session we will be focusing on best practices for
nonprofit governance and policy creation as they relate to the Grants
Gateway portal, the prequalification questionnaire and the online
Document Vault. We will also be discussing the options and process for
NYCON assistance available to you as a member.
Join us on
Thursday, September 19th, 2013 from 10:30am to 12:00pm

Policy practices in order to become a prequalified nonprofit with New
