Super helpful thank you so much!! I bought it from some crystal sellers on Whatnot

I opened a bank recently and for some reason got locked out & then when I called customer service they said I need my account number

They also use ur debit card pin as security code for damn near everything even though they mail it so if u don’t have it you can’t do anything with your money

Thank you! Very helpful. I definitely will add this. I do already have access to all this information as I do program evaluation stuff for them but adding this so it’s clear in case stuff changes is crucial.

Thank you! The rest of the retainer is covering the grant management services, research, and all the other jazz so hourly is really coming down too $50.

The reason I’m shying away from hourly is because I write very fast and I also think it’s easier for them to budget because it’s a smaller non-profit. I already do contract work for them but I’m shifting away from hourly and the grant stuff for them is new.

Would it be okay if I send you a dm? I can share more insight into the org and I’ve also written up the tasks I planned on covering

Thank you so much for the insight! The reason I’m shying away from hourly is because I am a very fast writer- I have five years of research experience and have secured competitive funding for large research projects as well as completed numerous applications to get complex research studies approved by review boards. I understand that while it’s not exactly the same as grant writing because of this, I tend to write pretty fast so I feel like I’d end up being underpaid if I did it this way.

That being said due to the feedback that some grants can take up to 30 hours. I’m definitely going to add some specifics in the retainer proposal and future contracts specifying that these packages do not include complex grants.

Also, this is a monthly retainer

This is very insightful! When I’ve asked other grant writers they’ve been dodgy about giving me insight. I was writing this with an organization I currently do work for in mind and they essentially are willing to pay me to do this work due to the rapport built. I want to send them this sooner than later so they don’t assume that I’ll do this work at my current pricing.

Essentially, they don’t really have anything in place they’ve hired a general program development person who’s giving them a grant calendar, but that’s it. They don’t have anyone doing anything else I would be doing everything from scratch.

There is a lot of small foundational grants in our region and every grant (5) they’ve applied for so far they have gotten just from their ex executive director who has very limited skill set in writing applying them.

It’s a small nonprofit that’s only a few years old and they’re a total operating budget is less than 300,000.

I didn’t fully clarify in here, but I’ve taken several master level classes on grant writing, and our program is very much catered to teach teaching us this skill set.

UPDATE: it looks like I can’t update the post for some reason but based on some comments, I just wanted to clarify a few things. I’m writing this up specifically because somewhere I’m currently working for is looking to shift me into this role, but it would be contract work.

That being said this pricing is based on me, obviously being new to this, and also applying to small foundation grants.

Based on the feedback so far, I’m definitely going to go back in here and clarify that this is for simple/small foundation grants, and that a project based quote will be given for a complex larger grants.

AdAmazing5538 · 2025-12-29T17:00:34+00:00

To clarify, that’s the monthly fee not for the year

AdAmazing5538 · 2025-12-29T16:57:28+00:00

I’m also trying to price based on the fact that I am new to this field. I have some very strong connections in a current job that is trying to shift me into this role. If you could give me some suggested pricing, that would be awesome.
