The William T. Grant Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of our updated website, built in collaboration with Bridgeline Software. The website, www.wtgrantfdn.org, features streamlined navigation, improved search capabilities, and a section devoted to staff and grantee publications and research.

The Foundation’s new website is powered by iAPPS Content Manager, an innovative solution that allows staff to more effectively and quickly update and manage our online presence. We hope you find our new site user-friendly and welcome your feedback.

While visiting the site, you can download our just-released 2008 Annual Report. This year’s report features essays by Senior Program Team members describing the success of our Distinguished Fellows program and our focus on the acquisition, interpretation, and use of research evidence in policy and practice. The Annual Report highlights each of our grant programs with an accompanying explanation of our Current Research Interests, which we hope will serve as a resource for prospective grantees who are considering submitting a proposal. It also includes a list of all new and active grants in 2008.

We have mailed printed copies of the Annual Report to select contacts. If you do not receive a copy in the next few weeks and would like one, please send your request to info@wtgrantfdn.org.
