From Challenges to Opportunities:
How Grants Professionals Can Help Influence the “New Normal”
in Federal Financial Assistance
Presented by Matthew Hanson, CGMS, GPC and Anna Valdez, CGMS, Witt O’Brien’s



Grants professionals are key to shaping the evolving grants landscape. This session will explore the "new normal" in grants management, focusing on necessary reforms, challenges, and opportunities in pre- and post-award management. While not lobbyists, grants professionals can advocate for improvements by engaging policymakers and funders. The session will examine where we are, where we are going, and how professionals can drive meaningful changes in federal financial assistance.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the evolving federal financial assistance landscape.

  • Identify strategies to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in federal financial assistance.

  • Explore “advocacy” strategies for grants professionals.
