Fees

How I set my fees

I use a value-based approach. I manage your grant writing project from end to end.

Dissecting the NOFOs/RFP to provide you with the key elements of the requirements
Performing sound research to support the statement of needs and evidence-based approaches in your narrative
Writing the narrative to the funder's specifications
Creating a budget that matches the proposed approaches
Applying on your behalf.

What grant writing agencies charge

Up to 2% of the maximum allowable award amount

For example, if a federal grant has a ceiling award amount of $ 800,000 per year, a grant writing agency may charge $16,000. Many of these grant writing agencies contract with independent grant writers (freelancers) and pay them 1% ($8,000) or less of the fees earned from their clients.

Grant writing fees

Transparency

I value your time as much as mine. I want to be transparent about my fees and list them so that you can decide for yourself if this is a good fit and assess the potential value before contacting me.

There is no one-size-fits-all. Contact me for a customized proposal.

I provide high-quality services and serve as a single source for all your grant writing needs, at a significantly lower fee than what a large grant writing agency would charge.

Helpful Notes!

Organizations new to grant funding

If you have not applied for a grant, we will need to start from scratch. This takes more time and work, and the fee will be on the higher end. The fees listed below are for a standard 4-6 week lead time for grant writing and application.

!!!IMPORTANT TO NOTE: You may need additional time to register with a funder. For federal grants, organizations must register with SAM.gov and Grants.gov. You must have an active SAM account with a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). This process can take weeks. If you apply for an NIH or SAMHSA grant, you will also need to register for an eRA account, which can take 2-4 weeks for first-time applicants. START EARLY!!!

Organizations not new to grant funding

Whether you have been funded or not, having prior grant applications will help speed up the process and reduce time. In general, I can draw some generic information (e.g., organizational history, achievements, capacity, staffing, etc.) from your prior applications.

The fee will be on the lower end (for a standard 4-6 week lead time for grant writing and application).

By working directly with me, you will pay less than you would for a grant writing agency, as I have lower overhead costs that are passed down to you.

You will work with one person, avoiding the need to deal with multiple individuals and a potentially fragmented process that could impact the quality and timeline of your grant application.

Grant review, needs assessment, data analysis, report writing, and other ad hoc projects

My hourly rate: $100-$125 per hour, depending on the complexity of the project and whether it is a rush project.

All hourly projects will have a minimum of 5 hours.
