Why
The Global Grant Collective
Was Created
While social media fragments into noise and traditional associations serve broad mandates, grant professionals need a dedicated space for deep, collaborative problem-solving and genuine belonging.
The Global Grant Collective is that container.
It exists to host the crucial conversations—about country-based best practices, regulatory tsunamis, and global career paths—this happens in very few spaces.
We are creating a new kind of professional support system where we learn from each other’s stories, accelerate each other’s expertise, and contribute to the elevation of the entire field.
What Makes The Global Grant Collective Different?
The Global Grant Collective is different from traditional professional associations.
We are different because....
...We move beyond skill-building and knowledge expansion through conferences and certifications.
...We are built on a model of community-based learning and shared intelligence.
...The Collective is designed for continuous, two-way conversation with and through its members.
...We help you define and achieve your professional goals.
...You can learn country-specific best practices as you network with grant professionals around the world.

Meet Our Founder
Patrice Davis, MS, CGMS
Just like many others, I fell into grants.
After 10 years in marketing, I started in grants as a Grants Manager at Jerusalem House.
After 6 years in that role, other positions included:
-
Grants Compliance Officer with The Carter Center
-
Public Health Analyst at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
-
Research Program Manager at Georgia Tech and then
-
Senior Director of ederal grant compliance for Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
I started Grants Works with a primary initial focus on post-award management and compliance.
Since then, Grants Works has provided pre- and post-award consulting and other services for numerous organizations. We've even served as the fiscal compliance officer on monitoring visits of state agencies.
So, when I say I've seen grants from several angles, I mean it.
But that's not enough. I want to create a space for both grant writers and grant administrators, for sponsored research administrators, for early career grant pros, and, yes, for grant pros in the US, in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean—all around the world.
The Global Grant Collective does not replace existing associations created for grant professionals—we plan to augment what you're learning from those spaces.
