Thompson Announces Partnership with American Funding
Innovators FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE Washington, DC
(November 7) — Thompson, a Washington, DC‐based publisher of
regulatory compliance resources renowned for its grantseeking and grants
management expertise, has launched a new partnership with American Funding
Innovators, which provides intuitive and affordable software for grants
research, management and reporting. Through this partnership, AFI and Thompson
will integrate their action-oriented tools and authoritative content while
offering the flexibility to meet any organization’s grant-related
needs. Thompson is offering AFI
subscribers a 10% discount on all grant-related products, including a lineup of
award-winning publications such as the Single Audit Information Service
and the Federal Grants Management Handbook, which has been endorsed by
the Grants Professionals Association (GPA) and recognized by the National Grants
Management Association for outstanding reporting and
analysis. “The grants community
has been benefitting from our top-notch publications for decades. AFI’s
innovative and powerful software is the perfect complement, and will allow
grant-active organizations of all shapes and sizes to put the guidance they get
from us into practice on a daily basis,” said Luis Hernandez,
Thompson’s Director of
Publishing. “We’re excited
to be working with the leader in grant-related instructional and reference
information,” said Scott Frost, AFI CEO. “At a time when grants
management and compliance is becoming more burdensome and resources and
institutional knowledge are disappearing, we’re glad to be able to provide
our GrantNavigator users with access to the critical grantseeking, grants
management, compliance and audit-related guidance that Thompson is known
for.”
In
addition, as a reflection of their value in the grants community, both AFI and
