BOOST & VIP Grant Administraton Support

Q: Do you write the grant for us?

No. We help you strengthen the outcomes, reporting, documentation, and evaluation parts so the plan is fundable and realistic.

Q: We already have programming planned—do we still need this?

Yes, if your tracking/reporting system isn’t clear. Strong programming still fails when data and documentation are inconsistent.

Q: Can you support multi-site projects?

Yes—this is where systems and consistency matter most.

You won the award. Now you need systems, compliance, and reporting that actually work.

We handle the administrative side — so your team stays focused on serving youth.

We review your award, Egrants application, and program plan to identify gaps in tracking, documentation, budget alignment, and reporting readiness.

STEP TWO

Build the tracking + reporting workflow

We design and support data collection systems to capture and analyze key performance metrics—without creating extra work for sites.

STEP THREE

Ongoing Administration Through the Grant Period

Check-ins, data cleanup, budget revision support, and reporting-ready summaries — across all 36 months of your grant.

Practical systems and clear reporting—without complicated processes or jargon-heavy reports.

A few important notes

BOOST program requirements and performance measures are managed through PCCD processes and can change during implementation as grantees work with the designated TTA provider.

BOOST program requirements and performance measures are managed through PCCD processes and can change during implementation as grantees work with the designated TTA provider.

VIP + BOOST projects receive technical assistance supports at no cost through PCCD’s designated provider (WestEd’s Justice & Prevention Research Center).

Steps To Achieve does not replace your program staff or TTA provider — we handle grant administration, data systems, and reporting so your team stays focused on program delivery.

Common Questions

Do you write the grant for us?

No. We support organizations that have already been awarded funding. Our focus is implementation — tracking, reporting, documentation, and compliance — not grant writing.

We already have programming planned—do we still need this?

Yes — and this is exactly who we work with. Having a strong program is different from having the systems to document, track, and report on it. Most funded programs underestimate the administrative demand of a 36-month state grant until the first reporting deadline hits.

Can you support multi-site projects?

Yes. We design tracking and reporting systems that work across multiple sites with consistent data collection — even when sites have different staff or schedules.
