VCDP Grants Management Guide

The Grants Management Guide (GMG) is a source of VCDP information for grant administrators and municipal officials. The GMG is organized to provide the grantee with start-up guidance from the award through the receipt of the Certificate of Program Completion.  Many forms are incorporated in our online grants management system (GEARS) or can be found on our Forms and Sample Documents page.
