“I’ve been a long-time member of NGMA and was in the first class that obtained our National Credentials. It has been one of the most valuable investments I’ve made and I’ve encouraged people all over the country to take the exam and pursue their Credential.” -Lisa Nine, CGMS |
The Certified Grants Management Specialist (CGMS) was developed by NGMA to provide an industry credential elevating professional standards, enhancing individual performance, and designating professionals who demonstrate the knowledge essential to the practice of grants management. Having the CGMS credential confers formal recognition of professional competency in the full lifecycle of grants management.
NGMA membership is not a requirement to sit for and take the CGMS Exam. Although the exam is administered by NGMA, the CGMS stands on its own.

“During previous NGMA conferences, grant professionals spoke highly about the opportunity, which inspired me to grow in my profession and obtain the certification when the new exam became available…. It is my hope that having knowledge of the federal regulations will allow me to be a better resource for the grants department and the district as a whole.” (Pasadena ISD’s Stewart earns prestigious grant certification)
