About GPA

The Grant Professionals Association (GPA) is a nonprofit membership group that builds and supports a community of grant professionals committed to serving the greater public good by practicing the highest ethical and professional standards.

The Utah area chapter strives to implement these ideals throughout Utah, southern Idaho, and southwest Wyoming by providing opportunities for professional development, networking and mentoring for our members and the greater community. We have more than 40 members currently and are looking to grow! Do you or someone you know want to join U-GPA? Click here to learn more about membership.
