Our Value Proposition

Provide Once Share with Many

The digital platform enables grantees and grant receivers to undertake a pre-certification assessment of their compliance to the requirements of the GFGP standard. It only needs to be completed once but can be shared with multiple grantors hence eliminating the replication of due diligence.

Assessment done against the world’s only international standard for GFGP

In the global due diligence ecosystem, there are a plethora of due diligence guidelines and grantor specific assurance frameworks. To shift the paradigm and remove this confusion, the AAS with the support of their sponsors have developed the world’s only international Standard for Good Financial Grant Practice.

Certification to GFGP

The expectation is that in the years to come only grantee organizations which are certified to GFGP will be eligible to receive grant funding. Therefore, grantee organizations certified to GFGP will be better positioned as grantors may decide to make certification to GFGP a mandatory requirement or a pre-award condition.

Simplified Digitized Platform

Experience a simplified and digitized due diligence process that’s easy to understand. Assessments can be updated, whenever you want. The platform provides a single repository providing access (subject to permissions) to an organization’s responses and supporting documentation to the pre-certification-assessment and GFGP Certification audit report.

GFGP Certification valid for 2 or 3 years

Organizations can be certified to being compliant to GFGP by a licensed GFGP Certification Body performing a site audit. GFGP Certificates are globally recognized and have a validity period of 2 or 3 years (depending on the Tier).

Raises the credibility and visibility of even the smallest grantee organizations onto a global stage

Both large and small organizations can raise their credibility and visibility by having their assessment and certification status displayed on a searchable database accessible by funders worldwide.

Readily available in- house templates on Policies, Processes & procedures

To take the pain out of completing the pre-certification assessment, the Global Grant Community has provided a repository of 22 Policies, 69 Processes and 31 Procedures that can be downloaded from the GGC portal, customized for their organization, uploaded and implemented.

Capacity Development

Completing the pre-certification assessment identifies critical gaps in your organization, provides templates to fill the gaps and provides a pathway to improve grant management capabilities and a road map for capacity development.

Non GFGP Assurance Framework

Organizations can access an assurance framework that fall outside the scope of the GFGP pre-certification framework covering additional practice areas such as safeguarding, health and safety, legal compliance and risk management.


Funders have a right to expect and demand that nonprofits manage grants effectively and ethically
