One of the ways 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. The Grants Management Peer Community convenes quarterly for phone calls to to discuss topics of interest, ask questions of each other, and build a strong network of peers who share the same job functions.

Even if you don’t carry the title of a “grants manager”, this conversation would be a great fit if you are responsible for the any of the following tasks:

• 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

These calls will create a space to ask questions related to your daily tasks, learn about how other foundations from across New York State handle operations and procedures related to grantmaking, and network with people who share your job experiences.
