Grant Resource Network
Nonprofit organizations in the Greater Boston area have many options to choose from in accessing grant seeking information, but beyond Boston it is often difficult. In order to extend some of the services for nonprofit organizations to different parts of our region, AGM has developed a Grants Resource Network (GRN). The GRN alleviates this problem by bringing key resources and training to underserved areas in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
AGM’s Grant Resource Network partners with existing organizations, nonprofit centers and public libraries to increase access to grantseeking information across the state. Each site develops its own set of resources which might include workshops for grant seekers, access to grant maker databases such as AGM Grant Maker Directory and Foundation Center Online directory, and tools including publications and other resources. Please contact the site listed below for more information about what services and support is provided.
