Services: Best Practice


The Australian Institute of Grants Management

SmartyGrants has been developed by Our Community through its best practice grants management division, the Australian Institute of Grants Management (AIGM).

The AIGM is the best practice network for philanthropic, government and local government grants managers and grantmakers. The AIGM is working to help grantmakers review and improve their grants programs, and keep abreast of best practices both within Australia and internationally.

Membership of the AIGM gives you access to many unique services and a wealth of knowledge on grantmaking best practice. Membership includes:

  • A subscription to the ground-breaking best practice grantmaking publication, Grants Management Quarterly (GMQ);
  • Exclusive access to a range of online resources;
  • Discounts to the annual Best Practice in Grants Management conference.

Other key outputs of the AIGM include:

  • Oversight & administration of affinity-based grantmakers' networks;
  • The grant making toolkit: Framework, workbook and check-up tool to help you build, review or refresh your grants program;
  • Grantmaking manifesto: including Codes of Practice for grantmakers and grant making agencies and organisations.
