David Gates, Director of Online Education

I started working at GrantStation in March 2021 as the Online Education Specialist. I’ve always had a passion for teaching so I knew this was a great opportunity to apply my experience in a new domain. In October of 2023 I became GrantStation's Director of Online Education, and in October of 2025 I became the Senior Director of Online Education.

I’ve been working in online education in various capacities since 2015. I’ve helped others develop online curricula, trained teachers, and done a lot of teaching myself. Most recently, I worked with business professionals across the world on their data storytelling skills.

Here at GrantStation, I assist in all of our online education programs. I work directly with our world-class presenters to develop programming to help nonprofits acquire the skills they need to succeed. I also host many of our webinars.
