Whether you award grants, apply for grants, or do both, your GrantWatch Profile can help tell that story. Every organization can benefit from claiming their GrantWatch Profile. Grant seekers research funders before applying, while foundations review nonprofit applicants. Donors, volunteers, researchers, journalists, and community partners also rely on publicly available information to evaluate organizations and make informed decisions. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to keep your organization current, build trust, and ensure your information reflects who you are and the work you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\">GrantWatch<\/a><\/strong> is launching Public Organization Profiles, giving eligible organizations the opportunity to claim, verify, and manage their official GrantWatch Profile.
