Get Jazzed About Grants Management

Attend the region's premier educational event for grants professionals to get answers to your questions about managing grants and to stay up-to-date on recent developments affecting grant-funded entities.  Southern Grants Forum 2018 will be held in New Orleans and will feature a dozen experts and more than two dozen informative yet entertaining sessions over three exciting days.  The Southern Grants Forum will offer information for all types of grant-funded organizations (from nonprofits and governments to hospitals and educational institutions) regardless of whether the organization is a direct grantee, subrecipient, or pass-through. Join us this July 16 to 18 as the Crescent City celebrates its Tricentennial to "Get Jazzed about Grants Management."
