Moving together with experience, knowledge, dedication, and heart
Our People
Our team understands your challenges, because we’ve been where you are—as grant writers, nonprofit executive directors, development directors, and foundation officers. We are unified by a shared passion for supporting the communities that our nonprofit clients serve.
We also understand that in order to best support our clients, we need to care for each other, which is why we embrace and continuously foster a culture of doing good while being well.
It’s the unique combination of our culture, your mission, and a shared passion that turbocharges our capabilities. Together, we can achieve the amazing.
A Foundation of Equity, Access, and Inclusion
Part of the value Grants Plus brings to our clients, and to one another, is a diversity of experience and perspective. Our team members come from different backgrounds and states across the U.S., which is reflective of our nonprofit clients who are also richly varied and represent a broad array of people and places. Together, we share a common commitment to increasing equity, access, and inclusion in our own culture and across the grant seeking sector.
