Make Your GPC Known

If you are Grant Professional Certified, then you have the right to put that "GPC" after your name. You can help people understand what the GPC means by adding the "GPC" after your name in your email signature. Then link it to this web site. Here is how.
 

Caution! Not all "certifications" are alike.  Click here to learn more about the differences between a true professional certification and a workshop/course exam resulting in a "certification."
 

Welcome!

Find here the growing body of information about the Grant Professionals Certification Institute (GPCI) and the Grant Professional Certification™ (GPC).
 

Grant Professionals Honored by GPCI
At the 2009 annual meeting of the American Association of Grant Professionals, GPCI honored two grant professionals with their annual awards.

The Pauline G. Annarino Award is offered annually to an individual/agency or group that has been dedicated to elevating the status of the grants profession, and acknowledges the hard work and effort into promoting, advancing, steering and marketing the profession. The President’s Award recognizes the individual/agency or group which has provided specific assistance to GPCI, the President, and the Board Members. 

Michael Wells – Pauline Annarino Award
Michael has been a generous donor of his time and resources to support the growth of GPCI. His commitment to certification dates back to the early 2000’s, as a member of AAGP’s initial certification development team.  As part of the development process, he was asked to conduct the GPC literature review. He stepped up to the plate and not only this arduous task but also created GPCI’s suggested test preparation reading list.  He has served on the GPCI Board of Directors, and has been outspoken in his belief of a professional credential that is …”valid, reliable, legally defensible.” Michael’s contribution to the field spans more than 30 years of public and private sector involvement, three books and numerous articles.   

Laura Gore – President’s Award
Laura has been an integral part of the GPCI family and an outstanding volunteer in the credentialing process. Laura is one of the few ‘original’ GPCs, taking the exam in Arlington in 2007.  She currently serves as the Eligibility Chair of the Exam Administration Committee.  She also volunteers during exams when possible, helping to proctor or supervise portions of the exam.  Laura currently serves as the Grants Director for the YWCA of Nashville and Middle Tennessee.  Prior to the YWCA, Laura was the Grants manager at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee working with incoming AAGP President Bill Smith.
