Allison Megrath, AICP, CNU-A, GPC shares in this week's blog post, "As grant professionals, our role is not simply to maximize submissions or increase win rates. It is to provide honest, informed guidance that protects the long-term interests of the client, the funding agency, and the public resources entrusted through the grant process. Sometimes ethical grantmanship means advising a client to wait."
