From the desk of Bruce Spitzengel, President of GrantWorks
As 2024 draws to a close, we can reflect on what has truly been a monumental year for GrantWorks. This year has been one of extraordinary progress and innovation where we’ve navigated challenges and continued to raise the bar for what we can achieve as a whole.
One of the largest highlights of 2024 was GrantWorks’ 45th anniversary. I founded this company with a clear mission: to empower
client communities by providing them with grant assistance and helping them create a brighter future. While much has changed over the years, The GrantWorks Way remains steadfast—to grow as a company and continue making a meaningful difference for communities nationwide.
As we enter 2025, we plan to continue expanding our services with technical assistance customized to our client communities, offering various contract types – hourly, as needed, or fixed fee. Part of this effort includes hiring grant writing and research professionals who will play a crucial role in identifying and securing grants from diverse sources. These additional team members will allow GrantWorks to provide tailored solutions that address specific needs, giving clients access to a wider range of funding opportunities while also enhancing our reputation as a comprehensive partner in the grant administration and management space.
Alongside our business developments, we’ve also pursued various philanthropic opportunities this year. GrantWorks has continued to make our mark with the Daily News Press Runs throughout the year, and our employees have made incredible contributions through their individual volunteer efforts. GrantWorks allots 8 hours of paid volunteer time annually and our team members truly stepped up to give back in 2024. We saw employees dedicate their time to programs across the nation such as Keep Austin Beautiful, the Union Gospel Mission shelter, the Junior League of Collin County, the Connecticut Audubon Alliance for Coastal Waterbirds, and many more. Our employees’ continued dedication to giving back has been a true testament to The GrantWorks Way.
As we look ahead to 2025, the future is brimming with exciting opportunities. We are poised to expand our business operations into multiple states while continuing to deliver impactful services that empower communities nationwide. At the same time, we will remain steadfast in our philanthropic efforts, ensuring that giving back to the communities we serve remains at the heart of all we do. Above all, we are committed to strengthening the values and culture that make GrantWorks a place where employees thrive and our mission shines. So here is to a successful and bright 2025!
