#GrantChat, a program of SmartEGrants, is a weekly Grant Twitter chat using Twitter handle @grant_chat managed by Jo Miller, GPC (@jomillergpc ) and sponsored by Smartegrants.com (@SmartEGrants ). You can also connect with the GrantChat community on Facebook, where participants chat about grant development

GrantChat is open to all professionals who work with grants in some capacity whether on a full or part-time basis; whether new to the field or an experienced GPC. GrantChat is a continuously growing community of grant professionals, evaluators, directors, board members, and fundraisers from the public sector and nonprofits joining the chat on a weekly basis.
