Welcome to the Luminuous Grants Management Academy where we are passionate about helping organisations and professionals enhance their capability in the area of grants management.

Grants management is a complex discipline that demands very high standards and sound practical experience. Thus, every organisation tasked with the responsibility of receiving and managing grants needs a network of staff and project partners that are well equipped with the right level of knowledge, experience, skills and commitment to manage the complex and intricate requirements of grants, funders and key stakeholders.

Our mission is simple: to use our platform to share useful and practical information that would help professionals and organisations gain relevant knowledge and skills and become more confident in managing grants. Thus, the sound practice of grants management leads to the optimal use of grant funds and resources and achievement of project goals that ultimately bring about great benefits to society and deliver value for funders, project teams and their organisations.

Inexorably, as grant holding organisations evolve on their grants management maturity journey, they would need to assess the effectiveness of their grants management function, mainly for strategic fit and to ensure it continues to deliver value for project teams, funders, their organisations and public good. Some of the factors that give rise to such assessment are increase in grant funding, complexities

in the operating environment, gaps in capacity building, increase in partnerships, staffing issues, increased scrutiny from funders and repositioning for long-term resilience.

In addition, annually, trillions of US dollars are spent globally on research and development (R&D) and this trend is expected to continue with leading countries spending an average of nearly 3% of their GDP on R &D.

In the UK alone, £?? was spent on R & D in 2023, of which over ??% was allocated as grants (by governmental and non-governmental??? funders) to grant holding organisations, and it takes the mastery of grants management to manage grant funding properly i.e. once received from funders.
