    Ep 19: Island Voices, JET's Role in Protecting Jamaica's Environment | Grants Explained Around the World

    What does it take to protect an island nation's environment when the threats keep coming? In this episode of Federal Grants Explained, Grants Explained Around the World, I speak with Dr. Theresa Rodriguez-Moodie, CEO of Jamaica Environment Trust (JET) — one of Jamaica's leading environmental NGOs. Founded in 1991 by a group of citizens who saw a gap no one else was filling, JET has become a voice for Jamaica's natural resources through education, law and advocacy, coastal clean-ups, and conservation work in places like Cockpit Country. Dr. Rodriguez-Moodie pulls back the curtain on how JET is funded — including the nuances of law and advocacy funding, avoiding greenwashing funders, subgranting to other NGOs, and what grants oversight actually looks like inside a mission-driven organization. #jamaica #environment #island #Caribbean #conservation #beach #coastalprotection #grants #grantmanagement #federalgrants ALSO IN THIS EPISODE: 4 grant and funding opportunities available in Jamaica (Digicel Foundation, NCB Foundation, JPS Foundation, and NCTFJ JAMAICA ENVIRONMENT TRUST: Website: https://www.jamentrust.org/ Donate: https://jamentrust.org/donate/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP4z-z8V4H59G7HpR3yr_bg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamentrust1991/ Twitter: https://x.com/jamentrust LEARN ABOUT GRANTWIN'S NEXT COHORT: https://grantwinconsulting.com/cohort-based-training/ RESOURCES: Jamaica Environment Trust: https://www.jamentrust.org/ Planning Institute of Jamaica report: https://www.pioj.gov.jm/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FCG-AF-CON-10-0_National-Services-Policy_TOR_FINAL.pdf Digicel Foundation: https://www.digicelfoundation.org/jm/en NCB Foundation: https://www.jncb.com/about-us/ncb-foundation/overview JPS Foundation: https://www.jpsco.com/our-foundation/ NHTA/HEART CARE: https://www.heart-nsta.org/care-community-action-for-empowering-engagement-programme-faqs/ WATCH THIS EPISODE: https://youtu.be/Abyq5BrMZTk ABOUT ME: I'm the founder and CEO of GrantWin™️ Consulting (formerly Grants Works) and the lead trainer for GrantWin Academy.

    Ep 18: What May Be Changing, What's "Interesting," and How You Prepare For Compliance with the 2026 UG Proposed Rule

    The Office of Management and Budget dropped its proposed revisions to Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) on May 29, 2026 — and federal grant professionals need to pay attention before the public comment period closes on July 13. In this episode, I break down the proposed changes without the political noise, walking you through what UG is, why it's being revised, and what the proposed rule actually says. I cover key pre-award changes and post-award changes. I also flag three proposed changes that activated my "spidey senses" — and explain what the overall direction of these revisions signals for how your organization should be managing documentation, internal controls, and staff training right now. If your organization receives or manages federal grants, this episode is required listening. The comment period closes July 13, 2026. The final rule is expected to take effect October 1, 2026.
