Primary responsibilities also include providing supervision to assigned CFPA staff, developing and maintaining a digital library of reference documentation, including such information as funding agency requirements and forms, reference literature, and other pertinent material as well as providing advice and guidance to CFPA staff on the application of grant funding policies, regulations, and procedure and facilitating and supporting the research and identification of funding opportunities on behalf of CFPA, as appropriate.

The Director of Grants Administration also monitors and coordinates the administration of post-award grants to ensure that budgeting and administrative policies, procedures, and funding agency requirements are being followed and manages administrative problems and/or coordinates with CFPA’s finance department budget changes occurring during the awarded granting period.

CFPA is the only agency in the entire state sanctioned to provide its combined services of Domestic Violence, Sexual Abuse/Assault, Human Trafficking, Adult Protective Services, and Prevention Education under one roof. CFPA operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and all victim services are free and confidential.
