Description
Good intentions aren’t a legal defense.
The Money Trail explores four real-world cautionary tales of federal grant mismanagement. While most cases stem from good intentions gone awry, the book also examines several instances of predatory behavior and outright fraud. The common thread among them is the failure to develop a culture that openly welcomes questions about compliance. You’ll discover how building collective vigilance, through documentation, internal checks, candid conversations, and effective lines of communication across your organization and your partnerships can protect everyone who serves your mission.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about clarity.
When your team knows what questions to ask—and why—it builds resilience no single mistake can undo.
For nonprofit staff, board members, government agencies, and businesses working with federal funds or preparing to seek federal funding.
