Case for Support

Supporting GMN through a membership contribution or a grant results in:

1. Better trained staff. GMN is the only source of professional development targeted to grants managers. GMN's meetings, online community, and e-Newsletter all help grants managers to keep current on emerging issues and build the skills to address them.

2. Improved grantmaking process. GMN documents best practices, provides benchmarking information, and shares innovative approaches that can help you to manage your grants and comply with legal and tax requirements in the most efficient and effective way possible.
   

3. Resource savings. GMN develops and shares methods, including technology integration, which saves time and money in the management of your grants while maintaining the quality of your relationships with applicants and grantees.

4. Longer staff retention and easier recruiting. By becoming involved in a peer community, you and your staff will receive support and advice to understand and pursue the career potential of grants management. GMN also offers employers access to a pool of qualified candidates to fill open positions.

5. More effective grantees. GMN works to address the overall effectiveness of the philanthropic sector by encouraging streamlined grantmaking practices. As more and more grantmakers improve their practices, the fundraising burden on nonprofits will be reduced, allowing them to focus more resources on meeting their missions.
