Philip Tanner

Dr. Philip Tanner has been a leading grants acquisition and compliance Director for over 25 years.  He is President and Founder of The Grants House and has extensive experience on both the Grant-Maker and the Grant-Seeker side of grants.  His grant work includes some of the largest and visible grant-funded project globally, including the recent Central American Migration Programme awarded by the Prime Minister of Canada and, the highly acclaimed Rural Maintenance Programme (RMP), in Bangladesh, which won the Canadian Manufacturer's award.

He has worked in the field of international relief and development for 30 years and brings a wealth of knowledge from the United Nations, CIDA/GAC, USAID, EU, and numerous Non-Profit Organizations around the world and has an impressive record of winning and implementing grant awards.

The Grants House is a global community platform of Grant-Makers and Seekers, coming together to provide capacity-building support on Grants Acquisition and Compliance to organizations everywhere.

Vision:  There are communities of practice everywhere - but very little for the grants professionals or those engaged with grants in different departments of organizations.  Dr. Tanner's dream is to provide a community meeting place online, where individuals and organizations can meet to discuss challenges, successes and failures.  "By helping one another, we can reduce competition and help each other succeed in achieving the most important objective of grant-seeking:  to help alleviate poverty around the world and bring justice to the most marginalized."

Through courses like these, Dr. Tanner shares his experience with organizations who are entering their Grants Journey or are well advanced already and need some support.  His courses are exemplary for organizations conducting grants orientation for new staff onboarding and, for those who are veteran grant-seekers looking to gain that additional competitive edge.

Every organization's HR department will want to make these courses a mandatory part of their onboarding and orientation for new staff, whether they work in marketing, communications, finance, programmes - or a grants unit!  And every employee will want to be ahead of the game by being able to speak the language and 'walk the talk' of this highly competitive fund-raising sector.
