Grant Professionals Association Announces New Partnership with ZoomGrants
Inks deal with cost-saving online grants management tech company
 
OVERLAND PARK, KS -December 15, 2015- Grant Professionals Association, an international membership association for grant professionals, announces ZoomGrants as the Preferred Grant Management Technology Provider of the GPA. The partnership will provide the Grant Professionals Association with technology and administrative services to help manage scholarship applications and call-for-presenter applications.
 
"We are proud to partner with ZoomGrants," said Mike Chamberlain, CEO for Grant Professionals Association. "We believe this partnership is a perfect fit for GPA to help streamline our application processes and make it more efficient for GPA staff and members."
 
According to Chamberlain, last year the GPA staff had to collect, document and distribute to reviewers well over 100 applications from their annual call for conference presentations. Using ZoomGrants has significantly streamlined that process and will make the administration and operations of this critical function of their annual GPA conference more efficient.
 
"We are striving as an association to find ways to be smart with our financial resources and our staff's valuable time," said Chamberlain. "Partnering with ZoomGrants, has helped us meet those objectives."
 
Since its founding in 2002, ZoomGrants has become a leader in online grant and scholarship application management, delivering best available technologies within the grant proposal process, making it more efficient, more cost effective and easier to manage.
 
"The GPA staff and association members represent the best our industry has to offer, and we are excited to partner with them in their commitment to offer best management practices to grant professionals," said Geoff Hamilton, President of ZoomGrants. "The fact that the GPA utilizes our technology and seeks our staff's technical advice is something our team is very proud to be part of."

ZoomGrants is a GPA Platinum Sponsor and will be exhibiting at the GPA Annual Conference in Atlanta, Georgia on November 9-12, 2016.
