International Grant Writing Association (IGWA) is the trusted partner for government agencies and public‑sector organizations seeking to design impactful programs and secure sustainable funding. IGWA combines expert grant research and proposal development, program design and evaluation, regulatory compliance, training and professional certification, and digital communications to help agencies achieve measurable outcomes. Our team of certified grant writers, public administrators, researchers and digital strategists has experience supporting federal, state, local and tribal governments, school districts, colleges and universities, hospitals and public health agencies.
We identify aligned funding opportunities and develop competitive proposals. Hiring experienced grant writers can be more cost‑effective than assigning administrators to write grants; experts deliver better results and free up staff for core duties. We track success metrics like number of grants secured, total funding and satisfaction to refine our approach.
Our team builds logic models, evaluation frameworks and monitoring plans to ensure funded programs deliver measurable outcomes. A professional grant writer should have a documented success rate; at least three out of ten grants funded is a good benchmark, and we aim to exceed this standard.
We navigate complex federal, state and local regulations, manage budgets and sub‑recipients, mitigate risk and ensure transparency from award to closeout.
IGWA offers workshops and online courses to equip public‑sector staff with grant‑writing and grant‑management skills. Training providers note that such programs “dramatically enhance performance in the areas of grant writing, grant management and grant maker research,” and have benefited city, county and state government, universities and K‑12 schools.
A strong online presence is essential to reach stakeholders and donors. Experts note that donors increasingly spend time online and that a nonprofit’s website is the foundation of its digital presence and fundraising. IGWA designs accessible websites, social‑media strategies and email campaigns that build trust and engage supporters.
Through our Certified Grant Writer® (CGW®) program, we certify professionals who demonstrate mastery of grant research, writing and management, ensuring your team meets industry standards.

Our success rate consistently surpasses industry benchmarks for professional grant writers. We monitor key metrics such as grants awarded, total dollars raised and client satisfaction to continually demonstrate and improve our impact.
