Fund and Grants Administration

Helping you deliver positive outcomes quickly, easily and securely

Our country is facing continuous change and opportunity. We’ve emerged from the pandemic and are dealing with wildfires, floods and social and economic pressures. Grants, loans, rebates and claims programs play a vital role in turning government policy in these environmental, health and social areas into positive outcomes that support recovery and stability and strengthen the country.

Organizations looking to make the most of these opportunities to help address societal issues face a number of challenges, including:

  • Financial and resource constraints;
  • Access to talent with appropriate expertise and capabilities;
  • Ensuring strategic alignment;
  • Putting in place the right technologies to enable efficient and secure fund management;
  • Program compliance and governance;
  • Building credibility with their funders around how well they manage and disburse funding.

Our Fund and Grants Administration services are designed to help you overcome these challenges and deliver programs that create positive outcomes. We’ll make fund and grants administration faster and easier, while ensuring value for money and delivering funding securely and safely. Our goal is to help you maximize your impacts and minimize risk in ways that deliver the greatest benefits to the economy, communities and the environment.
