How to Set Up and Administer a Project


Estimating Your Administrative Work
Administration of a grant-sponsored community project is not easy – but it need not be overly complicated. The Rouge Program Office is available to help with each step of project administration, and can help cut through the grant documentation requirements. Please contact your Project Coordinator or RPO Grant Administration representative for assistance.

Some administrative guidelines:

Project Phase Estimated Administrative Hours

What Your Files Should Look Like

Communities are required to keep project files in an organized system stored in a central location. Because each project will have unique documentation needs, communities are encouraged to contact their Project Coordinator to assist in determining effective organization of project files.
