Celebrate Your Grant Success—and Share It!

Presented by GrantStation and the Grant Professionals Association

There’s nothing quite like the moment you learn you’ve secured a grant award. Some feelings that come to mind are proud, accomplished, validated, and energized. These emotions mark the culmination of hours of research, writing, editing, and revising. It’s time to celebrate!

But…the celebration doesn’t have to stop there.

Turn your winning grant proposal into even more opportunity.

If you received a grant award between $25,000 and $1.1 million in 2024 or 2025—whether from a government source or a private funder—you’re invited to submit your proposal to GrantStation’s Winning Grant Proposal Competition (WGPC). This is your chance to gain additional recognition and prizes by sharing your success with the broader grantseeking community.

Open to participants from any country, the competition will accept up to 200 proposals for prescreening. Selected proposals will advance to a panel of esteemed judges. Winners will be announced in early August 2025.
