The National Grants Management Association (NGMA) is a non-profit organization based in Sterling, Virginia, that supports grants professionals through a comprehensive suite of training, certification, continuing education, resources, and networking. It serves a broad spectrum of grant stakeholders, including federal, state, and local governments, tribal entities, nonprofits, higher education institutions, K-12 education, and affiliated private sector organizations, with the aim of maintaining high competency and establishing standards of excellence in grants management. Members collectively oversee the management of billions of dollars in grants, highlighting NGMA’s role as a central professional body within the grants management field, though the organization itself does not award grants. In addition to its training and certification programs, NGMA emphasizes a full lifecycle approach to grants management and provides a forum for peer connection and professional development. A recent development noted is the addition of a new partner to its board, reflecting ongoing governance and strategic leadership activity.
