A Grantor is an organization or entity that provides grant funding to your organization.

Examples of Grantors

• Private foundations (Ford Foundation, Gates Foundation)
• Community foundations
• Corporate giving programs
• Government agencies (federal, state, local)
• United Way and federated funders

Grantor Records

Each grantor has a record in Argenta that tracks:

• Organization name and contact information
• Grantor type (Foundation, Government, Corporate, etc.)
• All grants received from this grantor
• Contact history and notes

Grantor vs Constituent

Grantors are separate from regular constituents because they represent funding relationships rather than individual donors.
