Just remember that you cannot spend any grant money you earn on to pay the grant writer. You must pay for a writer in advance before you turn in the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of hiring a grant writer depends upon several factors. First, you have to decide what type of grant to apply for. The grant writer&#8217;s knowledge and experience play a huge role in helping you accomplish your goal. Veteran grant writers know what additional documentation is needed. This will help assure proper consideration when you submit your grant for funding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant writers set their own fees and start at $40 an hour. The minimum cost comes out to around $500 in total. However, the total overall average cost for a grant proposal of 5 to 8 pages of narrative text is about $1,500. Of course, this can be higher or lower depending on the work needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Average Rates for a Grant Writer <\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beginner Grant Writers:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1. Grant writers who have won fewer than 3 grants: roughly $20 \u2013 $35 per hour*.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intermediate Grant Writers:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2. Grant writers who have recently won 4 \u2013 5 grants: roughly $40 \u2013 $50 per hour*.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3. Grant writers who have recently won 6 &#8211; 8 grants: roughly $60 per hour*.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4. Grant writers who have recently won 8 &#8211; 10 grants: roughly $75 per hour*.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced Grant Writers:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5. Grant writers who have won 10+ grants: from $75 up to $125 per hour*.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6. Expert grant writers with 10+ years experience of winning a substantial number of grants: up to $200 per hour*.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><sub><sup>*these prices are guidelines only<\/sup><\/sub><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if a grant writer charges $50 per hour and approximately 10 hours are needed to write the grant, their bid estimate would be $500. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, there is no guarantee that you&#8217;ll win a grant, regardless of the amount of experience a grant writer has and no matter how well the proposal may be written. Furthermore, it is important to note that these prices are guidelines <em>only<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each grant writer sets their own rates. Rates can vary depending on a variety of factors, especially with regard to the type of work required. Whenever you hire a grant writer, it&#8217;s important to have the overall cost quoted upfront &#8211; in writing &#8211; to avoid surprises later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/><strong>How Many Hours Are Required?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to writing grants, grant writers can be hired for a wide range of other services including, but not limited to::<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consulting for businesses, foundations, corporations and government agencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Locating contract and funding opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Securing funds for projects, programs or services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Developing curricula, mission statements and needs statements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Writing LOIs and budget proposals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since grant writers work at an hourly rate, you will probably want to know in advance how many hours will be needed. Unfortunately, the cost of writing a grant can vary drastically and so can the required amount of writing. You need to contact a grant writer directly to obtain an accurate quote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, estimates of the time it takes to prepare a federal government grant proposal will be included as part of the request for proposal (RFP). A reasonable amount of time to write these government grants is <strong>60 hours<\/strong>. Subsequently, this does not include the planning and additional documentation needed. It is best to start early when submitting this kind of grant proposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foundation grants are generally simpler and smaller. Often they can be submitted directly online. The grant proposal may be as short as five pages. You should budget <strong>20-40 hours<\/strong> for most grants, but the needs and requirements are different for every grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/><strong>How Much is Too Much?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>When grant writers set their flat rate, the budgeted amount of that fee should not be more than 5% of the grant award. Fees are not commission-based; it&#8217;s just good business sense, for both the organization and the grant writer. For example, if a client is looking to apply for a grant of $100,000, an experienced grant writer\u2019s fee should not exceed $5,000. Typically, as a rule of thumb, grant writer fees are usually 2-3% of the total grant award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">If you win the grant, you can not use the money to pay the grant writer. <em>Grant writers should not work on a contingency basis or a &#8216;success fee.&#8217;\u00a0Not only is this unethical, but it also violates state, federal and foundation funding guidelines. If a funder discovers the grant writer was paid a percentage of the grant award, at the very least you&#8217;ll likely lose the grant. At worst, there could be legal consequences as well.<\/em><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/><strong>Finding a Grant Writer<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in hiring a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/should-you-hire-a-grant-writer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grant writer<\/a>? One of the key benefits of using a grant writing agency is the security of a payment portal system in place. Look for agencies with online payment portals, instead of making all payments directly to the grant writer. A payment portal can give the grant seeker valuable peace of mind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When hiring a grant writer, who you hire and how much you can spend are key to how you approach<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":66726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sb_is_suggestion_mode":false,"_sb_show_suggestion_boards":false,"_sb_suggestion_history":"","_sb_update_block_changes":"","_is_real_time_mode":false,"_realtime_collaborators":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[124,118,147,143],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-grants","category-latest","category-nonprofit"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Much Should You Spend on Hiring a Grant Writer?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Looking to hire a grant writer and want to know how much to budget?
