About GPA New Jersey Chapter

The Grant Professionals Association (formerly the American Association of Grant Professionals) is a nonprofit professional association of grant writers, grant managers, and grant consultants headquartered in Kansas City, KS. The association exists to build and support an international community of grant professionals committed to serving the greater public good by practicing the highest ethical and professional standards. To achieve this mission, GPA:

• Serves as a leading authority and resource for the practice of grantsmanship in all sectors of the field;
• Advances the field by promoting professional growth and development;
• Enhances the public image and recognition of the profession within the greater philanthropic, public, and private funding communities;
• Promotes positive relationships between grant professionals and their stakeholders.

One of the ways GPA is able to fulfill its mission is through the leadership of local chapters.

The New Jersey Chapter of the Grant Professionals Association (formerly the New Jersey Chapter of the American Association of Grant Professionals) was established in 2006. In 2007, the New Jersey Chapter hosted the first annual Grant Professionals Association Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference.
