Who We Are
Grantwell is a student-run, faculty-advised consulting program that is offered through Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Business. Through Grantwell, graduate-level college students impact the human services industry by offering pro-bono consulting services to non-profit and philanthropic entities.
Grantwell’s aim is to prioritize student experience, as we find value in the idea that students need exposure to working with real clients, on real projects, to solidify the theoretical knowledge they acquire in the classroom. The program cannot operate without our highly-valued non-profit partners. These clients set aside grant allocation, evaluation, and strategy projects for our student teams to undertake. Students work together with partners in a consultative role, delivering thoroughly professional results and recommendations that greatly benefit our client’s programs.

Opportunities to Lead
Grantwell is structured similarly to a non-profit with a small staff, where students take on various leadership roles including executive team positions or senior program officer roles. Organizations want to hire Grantwell alumni when they see these titles on their resumes and realize they have real-world experience in the non-profit sector.
