Welcome to our website!

The Metro Atlanta Association of Grant Professionals (MAAGP) recently changed our name to the Georgia Grant Professionals Association (GGPA). The GGPA is the Georgia Chapter of the international Grant Professionals Association (GPA).

The GGPA [About Us] is a membership organization serving the needs of grant professionals in the state of Georgia.  The membership meets every month to network, learn from other grant professionals, participate in professional development opportunities, practice grantsmanship, grow the profession, and to assist others in serving the greater common good through grant writing.  GGPA's regular meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of the month and are centrally-located at Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) near Atlantic Station in Midtown Atlanta. [Visit Directions to GTRI Meetings] Visitor parking is located in the parking deck between the Georgia Tech Research Institute and the Georgia Public Broadcasting buildings on 14th Street.  The $5 fee to park has been waived for GGPA meeting attendees.

 

Usually, the GGPA regular meetings alternate between hosting a professional program one month, followed by a chapter business meeting and networking the next month. Meetings begin at 10:00 AM and adjourn around 11:30 AM. This timing further encourages and reinforces networking as members often find it convenient to get together for lunch following the meeting.
