Impact San Antonio members: Are you interested in getting to know the nonprofit agencies that receive our transformational grants? Consider becoming a Grant Liaison.
We’re seeking Impact San Antonio members to be grant liaisons for our 2024 High Impact Grant and Support Grant recipients! It’s an amazing job where you work closely with one recipient agency as they move through the grant process and see their project to fruition.
Grant recipient liaisons are the primary contacts for Impact SA grant recipients. Liaisons are good listeners, organized, thorough and relationship oriented. The role includes grant management (use of computer, financial skills, knowledge of purchase orders, invoices, quotes, payments), agency communication (in person and by phone, email, and Zoom), advocacy, and assistance with agency’s participation in Impact SA events and marketing.
A liaison’s time commitment varies depending on the complexity and duration of the grantee’s project. For High Impact Grants, it is usually less than eight hours per month for two to three years. For Support Grants, it is about two to four hours per month for six months.
Liaisons participate in orientation in early October to review responsibilities. At Grant Award Night — October 28 this year — liaisons will congratulate their agencies. Then in November, liaisons begin learning the project plans, reporting and reimbursement procedures. Agencies have two years to complete their projects and submit an outcomes report about a year later.
