Welcome,
​Illinois Prevention Intiative Grantees

Overseeing large-scale grants programs is no easy feat.

What's Your Challenge?

Too Many Sites to Monitor Effectively
Monitoring hundreds of grant-funded programs is complicated. Synchronizing schedules, matching monitor expertise with their assignments, and generating dozens of error-free reports requires operational skill and the right resources.
Unsupported Findings
​​When findings of non-compliance aren’t grounded in documented standards, your grantees may push back. And with good reason. Meticulous attention to detail avoids this reputation-damaging situation.
Voluminous Laws and Regulations
Hundreds of pages of laws and regulations can make testing standards in the field an intricate endeavor for your monitoring team.
Weak Technical Assistance
Sharing best practices improves the delivery of services in a non-punitive manner. 
Lack of Process to Escalate Serious Issues Internally
​In the rare instance in which fraud occurs, understanding the full spectrum of oversight solutions adds value.
Monitoring Standards without Meaning
The best oversight programs contribute value to the organizations they oversee. Well-designed monitoring programs select standards that drive not only grantee compliance, but grantee performance.
