Id like to say that learning the principles of grant management, professional development opportunities and fruitful networking sold me on GPA. GPA inspired me, as we celebrated GPC certifications, shared experiences, and discussed the challenges of daily work. Instead, it was a holiday dinner.

In 2002, I was managing a grant-funded violence prevention program at a small-ish nonprofit organization in the Kansas City metropolitan area. She let me read the application, the award letter, and the reporting and management requirements. She was the best mentor. In time, I learned to love her job, too.

I attribute my GPA membership and the member benefit of free access to GrantZone to receive instant expert advice from my peers, who serve as my “digital mentors,” which is helpful, especially when I’ve exhausted hours of research on my own. I use our free access to GrantStation to forecast new funding sources and build my grants calendar.
