Benefits of Becoming a Member of GPA
Although you might be able to find other associations of grant writers within the United States, only the Grant Professionals Association (GPA) can offer truly national reach, with 1,200 active members serving institutions in every U.S. state and 42 chapters serving members in 27 states and the District of Columbia.
GPA is well regarded by experienced grant professionals, and its reputation is further enhanced by its affiliation with the Grant Professionals Certification Institute (GPCI) and the Grant Professionals Foundation (GPF). GPA is the only professional-level association of grant writers and managers to offer a certification credential that takes into account a grant professional's breadth of knowledge, experience, leadership in the field, and service to the community.
For dedicated grant professionals, local networking and professional development and a robust certification credential are only two of the reasons to join this organization. Here are some of the benefits our local members are exceptionally grateful for:
- No cost access to GrantStation, a $599 value!
- Access to group rates for Health Insurance and Professional Liability Insurance at group rates.
