In this episode of Develop This!, host Dennis Fraise sits down with Adrian Spencer, Co-Founder and Director of GrantGuru, the world's largest aggregator of grants and funding programs. Together, they explore how Grant Guru is transforming the way communities, local governments, and nonprofits access funding opportunities.
