Support GMN

 

Why Support GMN?

GMN relies on voluntary contributions from its members and their organizations to deliver its programs, resources, and services.  We ask that you help us in our mission to improve philanthropy by leading the field of grants management to achieve efficient and effective grantmaking.

GMN is the only source of professional development designed specifically for grants managers. An investment by your organization in GMN results in: 

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  •  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.

Your support will allow GMN to:

  • Lead Project Streamline, a collaboration of grantmaker and grantseeker organizations committed to streamlining grant application, monitoring, and reporting practices. To learn more about Project Streamline please visit www.projectstreamline.org.
  • Continue to deliver relevant and timely information, resources, and news to help you do your job today and prepare for the future. Expanded content includes the new “What Works” webinar series. Special projects include a focus on “Green Grants,” or how to make grantmaking more environmentally friendly.
  • Continue to deliver a highly regarded annual conference that brings together more than 350 grants management professionals from across the nation to discuss important trends and learn new skills. Conference recaps, handouts, and other conference resources for the 2010 conference are available to all members on GMN’s member community.
  • And much more!
