Grant Writing for Non-Profit Organizations

Contracts for grant writing for non-governmental non-profit organizations are charged according to the following fee schedule. Our fee structure for non-profits does not usually include a contingency fee structure, consistent with the ethical standards of the Association of Fund Raising Professionals for non-profit organizations.

Level I - Grant amounts from $10,000 to $99,999

Level II - Grant amounts from $100,000 - $1,000,000+ per fiscal year

A flat fee of $10,000 is charged for writing grants within this range unless an application requires a level of staff time that exceeds the commitment we would customarily anticipate in the development process.  The fee in these instances is negotiated on a case-by-case basis with the client.  Fees for grant writing for grants over one million dollars are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Level III – Grant amounts from $100,000 and upward

CRR sometimes writes proposals on a percentage contingency fee for grants of $100,000 and above.  A contingency fee option is offered at the sole discretion of CRR.  A contingency arrangement always requires a review of the client’s circumstances and an assessment of the likelihood of a successful grant proposal prior to approval.   CRR charges a percentage fee that is reasonable and which takes into account the reality that in such an arrangement, CRR bears the entire fiscal burden of producing the grant application.

We also offer a fee option consisting of a small flat fee ($3,000) PLUS a percentage (6%) of the grant’s first year funded amount should the grant be funded.  This option is offered on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of CRR.

Non-Profit Grant Clients

For non-profit clients, there is no additional fee for rewriting and resubmitting an unfunded grant proposal to the same funding source for the same program.
