FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. What services do you provide?
A. We consult with the individual, company, or organization to determine their needs. We
research funding sources and match the needs of the individual, company, or organization
with a potential funding source or sources including scholarships. We compose letters of
intent and application and draft and edit proposals. We type, proofread and compile all
documents necessary for submission to the potential funding source or sources. We do all
cultivation, annual fund appeals assessments and appeals, solicitations, and follow-ups.
Q. Do you work on a contingency or for a percentage of the grant?
A. No. In most cases, grant preparation costs or fees cannot be paid from a grant, unless
such costs are included as eligible cost items in the RFP budget instructions and your budget
request. Thus, proposing to trade grant writing services for a percentage of grant funds is
generally unethical and/or illegal. Grant preparation costs and fees are usually paid from
other agency resources, such as individual donations, reserves, indirect cost recovery, etc.
Q. Can you guarantee our organization will be funded or that we will get a
scholarship?
A. No. In the grant writing business, there are no guarantees. We can guarantee to meet
deadlines and submit a professional well-written document.
