The Australian Institute of Grants Management has been facilitating grantmaking networking, events and training for more than a decade.
The AIGM's offerings are grounded in practicality, affordability, approachability and applicability.
All training is delivered by experienced, engaging and knowledgeable practitioners, and has been road-tested in the field to guarantee its relevance at the coalface.
Change is coming, and it doesn't have an 'abort' button. If you haven't yet started thinking about the impact of your grants, it's time to consider your launch options. Whether it's a minister, a taxpayer, a director, a donor, a councillor or a ratepayer, someone sooner or later is going to be knocking at your door asking the question and expecting a clear answer: "What value did we create from our grants?"
Of course, there's no simple answer. And there are big risks for those who stumble in blindly. Blunt metrics and dumb systems are easier to implement, but they lead to misleading answers, and that can be worse than having no answers at all.
But the costs of not acting are greater still. The 2018 Grantmaking in Australia Conference will connect you with the people who have stared down the challenges and pushed ahead, and give you the confidence you need to take one small step for your organisation, towards one giant leap for humankind.
Join us at the RACV Club, Melbourne, for two days of learning, networking, recharging and inspiration.
AIGM members and SmartyGrants users will also receive a 10% discount on their registrations.

The AIGM's Grantmaker Muster series is designed to bring together grantmakers managing programs of all sizes and types for an informal networking and idea-sharing event.
