One of the ways the NY Funders Alliance supports the work of our members is by convening foundation staff with similar job functions. This allows staff with shared experiences and skill sets to network, discuss current trends, and ask questions of each other.

We are looking to build a community of grants managers to share how grants get made, discuss topics of interest, and just connect and network.
We know many of you don’t carry the title of a “grants manager” but if you are responsible for the any of the following tasks, this conversation is for you!

• Administer your organization’s grants database
• Enter and retrieve all the grants and reports
• Generate reports
• Draft grant agreements or transmittal letters
• Cut checks for grants payouts
• Assist grantees with issues related to their online portals

Do you ever wish you had a peer network to ask burning questions related to your daily tasks? Are you interested in learning about how other foundations from across New York State handle operations and procedures related to grantmaking? Would you like to meet and network with other people who share your job experiences? If so, the NY Funders Alliance would like to invite you to join this conversation.
