About JS Grants & Compliance Consulting
We build compliance infrastructure for organizations managing public funding. Governance systems, financial controls, and operational frameworks. Built from hands-on experience across California's federal and state grant landscape. Serving nonprofits, local governments, and public agencies.
Our Mission
Building Compliance Infrastructure for Public Funding
Too many organizations lose grant funding, or never pursue it, because they lack the compliance infrastructure to manage federal awards properly. We exist to close that gap. Today that starts with our free grant readiness assessment and a growing library of compliance tools and research. As our platform and advisory services develop, every offering will be grounded in deep expertise across federal grant compliance, including the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200), and built from hands-on experience across California's federal and state grant landscape.
The Practitioner Behind the Platform
Built From Direct Experience
Juan Sanchez
Founder & Administrative Grant Analyst
Juan Sanchez founded JS Grants & Compliance Consulting to close the compliance infrastructure gap he saw repeatedly across organizations managing federal funds. As a practicing Administrative Grant Analyst for a California municipal police department, he manages end-to-end federal grant compliance spanning award acceptance through closeout and audit.
His direct grant portfolio includes COPS Office (Community Oriented Policing Services), Byrne JAG (Justice Assistance Grants), FEMA preparedness programs, and California state grants administered through BSCC (Board of State and Community Corrections) and CalOES (Governor's Office of Emergency Services), all governed under 2 CFR Part 200 and the Uniform Guidance.
This is compliance infrastructure built from the practitioner's perspective, not the consultant's. Every tool reflects the real workflows, audit requirements, and documentation standards that grant administrators face daily.
- Federal grant compliance under 2 CFR Part 200
- Single Audit coordination and evidence preparation
- Subrecipient monitoring and pass-through compliance
- Procurement standards (federal and California state)
- Cost allowability, allocation plans, and indirect cost documentation
Our Approach
A Four-Point Methodology
Our assessment methodology and compliance tools follow a consistent, rigorous framework designed to surface real gaps and drive measurable progress.
Assess Current Posture
Start with a structured diagnostic across seven compliance domains to identify where your organization stands today, not where it thinks it stands.
Identify Gaps and Risk
Assessment results surface specific gaps in policies, procedures, documentation, and internal controls that auditors and grantors will evaluate.
Build Infrastructure
Build the compliance systems and documentation that turn audit findings into non-issues: evidence binders, allocation plans, monitoring frameworks.
Sustain and Scale
Compliance is not a one-time project. Embed ongoing monitoring, staff training, and adaptive controls that scale with your portfolio.
