The Indiana Chapter of the American Association
of Grant Professionals is hosting a certification exam March 20 at Ivy Tech Community College. Those who pass will earn the
Grant Professional Certified designation.
“Similar to the Certified Fund Raising Executive credential administered
by CFRE International and the Association of Fundraising Professionals, the GPC is the only credential of its kind to measure
the competency level of grant professionals today,” said Arvetta Jideonwo, a member of the Grant Professional Certification
Institute’s board and chairwoman of the Indianapolis exam.
At this point, there are only nine GPC-designated
grant writers in the state.
Those who would like to join the few and the proud must meet eligibility requirements
for education, experience, professional development and community involvement.
The fee for the four-hour exam
is $525.
The American Association of Grant Professionals is based in Kansas City, Kan.
