Both times I called Grants.gov concerning the registration process, the staff was very knowledgeable and worked very efficiently. The whole process can feel confusing and overwhelming and this support made all the difference. Additionally, the caring attitudes of the staff were a blessing beyond the practical necessities around getting registered. Your quality of service is an inspiration to me. Thanks so much!""

They should be the first stop for every non-profit financial officer."
