During the month of May 2002 the Streamlining Nonprofit Grants Management Project conducted an online survey to determine priorities for nonprofits in implementation of the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 (FFAMIA). To download a copy of the complete survey results in RTF format click here. To request a hard copy call 202/234-8494. The project is a joint effort of OMB Watch, the Urban Institute and GuideStar. We are working on implementation of FFAMIA, which mandates federal agencies to develop uniform grant application and reporting forms, procedures and definitions. This article is a summary of the Findings. Summary of Findings: There is very strong overall support for the streamlining process. Given the need for resources for many of the programs government supports, it was not surprising that nonprofits rated “finding grant opportunities” and “filing grant applications” as their top priorities, both for uniform standards and need for electronic transactions. However, uniform standards for activity and financial reports also received high ranks for usefulness, not far behind the grant application process. The same is true for electronic transactions, where grant applications and reporting received almost identical levels of support. Electronic payment transactions and audits received somewhat lower support, but all were well above 3 on a 1-5 scale (5 = the highest priority). The complexity of the current system is reflected by the fact that most respondents report funding from multiple levels of government (federal, state, local), and nearly half have funding from four or more government agencies. Six out of ten offer four or more programs with government support. However, all this activity accounts for less than half the total budget of most respondents. A significant number (47.7%) of respondents reported cash flow problems as a result of government funding. One-third of respondents say they are required to file multiple reports for the same activities, while 42.4% say their funding agencies have more than one definition for the same thing. Clearly there are enormous savings of time and resources to be had if the federal government is successful in creating uniform grant application and reporting standards and forms. 73.7% of respondents report receiving federal grants. However, for these gains to be fully realized it will be necessary for state and local governments to adopt the same standards, since nearly as many, 69%, report receiving grants through states and 55.1% report receiving grants through local government. It will be very important for states, who are also federal grantees, to be part of the federal streamlining process and move toward adoption of uniform standards as well.
