One EIN. Four Federal Sources. One Risk Profile.
Before making an award, grant offices review each applicant’s registration, audit history, financial position, and past federal funding. That information lives in several different federal systems, and pulling it together for every applicant takes time.
The Grants Prospect Assessment does the same review faster and more thoroughly. Email an entity’s EIN and get back one risk profile in about a minute, ready for the award file.
The Same Review, Done Faster
GPA follows the review your staff already perform. It simply gathers every source at once instead of one system at a time.
| Source | What Reviewers Look For | Typical Process Today | With GPA |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAM.gov | Active registration, exclusions, responsibility records, and financial assistance certifications | Search the entity, review each section, and download the certification reports | In the report, with both SAM certification reports attached |
| Federal Audit Clearinghouse | Single Audit history, findings, and recurring issues | Search audit submissions by year and read through each one | Audit history and findings summarized in the report |
| IRS Form 990 | Financial stability and the entity’s ability to manage the award | Locate recent filings and pull the financial figures by hand | Key financial figures pulled into the report |
| USAspending.gov | Prior federal awards and experience managing federal funds | Search assistance awards and compile the history | Award history included in the report |
| Documentation | A complete record of the review for the award file | Screenshots, downloads, and notes assembled into a memo | One report, plus your assessment form prefilled |
