A Message From Our President

Cathleen E. Kiritz, President & CEO, The Grantsmanship Center

The Grantsmanship Center has never and will never engage in partisan politics. We serve all people who are working to strengthen their communities. We don’t judge, and we don’t pretend to have all the answers. But we do help people ask better questions in the pursuit of meaningful change.

Our country is in trouble—not because of politics, but because of inhumanity, indecency, and violations of law. This isn’t about red or blue. It’s about standing up for the basic humanity that connects us all. Without it, we lose purpose—and risk losing everything.

We are alarmed by reports of armed, masked, and unidentified individuals detaining civilians without due process. These actions are wrong, regardless of your politics, your background, or where you live. This behavior violates the rule of law and must be stopped.

We urge you to act—guided by your principles, your instincts, and your care for others. Only you can determine the right path for your family and your community. But we believe silence is not an option.

Let us all raise strong, principled voices to say: This is wrong. We demand accountability. We demand justice. We demand the rule of law.

—Cathleen E. Kiritz, President & CEO, The Grantsmanship Center
