Can you write grants on commission?
No, writing grants on commission is prohibited by industry regulations (Grant Professional Association's code of conduct) and IRS policies. Furthermore, we develop products for our clients that can have a lasting impact.
Can you write grants for free?
Unfortunately, no. Our grant writing services are highly specialized and require a significant time investment.
Can you guarantee funding?
We cannot guarantee funding, as that is beyond our control. Funding can be affected by a change in the funding source's priorities, limited funds, or the funding source targeting specific nonprofits. Some foundations may not award grants to first-time applicants to allow time to become acquainted with the organization. This is also a contributing factor to the high rate of dissolution among start-up nonprofits. Additionally, an application involves more than just submitting a document; it requires relationship building, which can take time.
What is the return on investment?
Clients will absolutely receive a return on their investment - regardless of whether the grant is initially awarded - because the grant proposal itself is valuable. If awarded, the grant will secure funding and an influx of capital. However, even if the grant is not awarded, the client still receives a return on their investment. The blueprint for program implementation, a solid budget, and a program plan can all be repurposed for any efforts in building the program.
