Leadership
“I think [grants managers] have a
pretty big hurdle still in making the
case that they are relevant to CEOs
and VP-level people. I don’t think
it’s insurmountable.”
(Interview with member)
“[The organization] could be more
visible, have a more prominent seat at
the table. They could do more
advocacy in the space…” (Interview
with member)
“While grants management
professionals serve an important role in
foundations and a role that may be
evolving, grants managers today are
not usually change agents within
foundations regarding externally
oriented changes…” (Funder decline to
a grant proposal submitted by GMN)
“We can continue to do amazing
work all by ourselves which could
be fantastic and scrappy, or we
can pull the curtain back and
show all the other affinity groups
that we’re the
premiere practitioners affinity
group that is going to lead the
way…” (Member listening group
participant)
