About Puget Sound Grantwriters Association
The Puget Sound Grantwriters Association promotes responsible, effective grantseeking and fosters connections among grantseekers, nonprofits and funders. Today, PSGA has nearly 400 members. Our annual fall conference draws over 300 participants, and the spring Funders Forum almost always sells out. Our members’ listserv is a vital source of information about grantwriting in the Northwest, and our other services, such as monthly seminars, annual networking event, and specialized trainings serve hundreds of grantseekers each year. We are pleased to support a vibrant community of grantwriters in the Puget Sound area.
