Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As we begin 2025, I am filled with gratitude for your continued support and commitment to the Grant Professionals Foundation. We support a strong community of grant professionals dedicated to enhancing nonprofit impact nationwide.

In 2024, our community came together in a remarkable way at our highly successful silent auction, raising over $15,000. These funds directly support scholarships, professional development, and resources critical to advancing grant professionals across the country. Your generosity and participation made this accomplishment possible, and we are profoundly thankful.

Additionally, our “Be A Star” campaign reached new heights last year, thanks to the enthusiastic support of more than 30 Grant Professionals Association chapters, collectively helping us meet our $10,000 goal.

We are asking each chapter to renew their commitment in 2025 by pledging just $250 toward this year’s “Be A Star” campaign. Moreover, we encourage individual chapter members to contribute, selecting their chapter affiliation as we highlight and celebrate the collective generosity that fuels our mission.

We are excited about connecting with each of you in person at this year’s GrantSummit, held in October in beautiful Baltimore, Maryland. It promises to be an inspiring gathering where we’ll exchange insights, forge connections, and continue building on our shared success—even in these changing times.

Thank you once again for your invaluable partnership. Your support continues to make a lasting difference.

Warm Regards,

Reagan Lynch

Chair, Grant Professionals Foundation
