About quotes

The quotes (estimates) provided by Get Grant Ready and Nikki Kirk are estimates based upon a number of factors to include (but not limited to):

  1. The amount of research necessary to help clients illustrate need.
  2. The amount of criteria applicants must address.
  3. The amount of time required to prepare proposals.
  4. The number of agreements, attachments, etc., for larger applications.

Rates proposed can be hourly or flat based upon the amount of work required to prepare a strong grant proposal.

Before we begin any work, a work agreement (contract) is required. The work agreement spells out our responsibilities to you the client, as well as the responsibilities of the prospective client. We desire to ensure before beginning work we all know what is to be expected. A deposit/retainer is required for any and all works, and final products are not released until final payment is made.

We reserve the right to refuse service to any prospective patron. We also reserve the right to modify quotes when clients seek to amend original quotes by adding additional services

Foundation grants/private funding

Foundation or private grants are proposals developed by private grant funders (i.e. corporate grant makers, private foundations, community foundations).

While the costs of private foundation grant proposal development services vary, rates begin for foundation grant services at $500/flat rate, or $125/hr.

federal grants

Federal grants take a considerable amount of time to prepare. These grants primarily come from federal agencies, bureaus, divisions, and/or departments. To learn what it takes to prepare federal grants, click here.

Federal grant application grant preparation services begin at a flat rate of $10,000, or $125/hr.

Federal grant application review services are available.

loi (letters of inquiry)

Letters of inquiry (LOIs) are simply letters that clearly describe the purpose of your organization, some potential leads which demonstrate how the organization and funder are connected, and seeker permission to submit a full grant proposal.

LOI flat rates begin at $75 per letter (up to 3 pages), and must be paid for in full prior to any work beginning.

research

Get Grant Ready conducts two types of grant research:

  1. Grant Proposal Research, and
  2. Grant Prospecting (Funder Locating)

A flat rate is available for grant prospecting. Flat rates depend on a number of factors such as types of sources the prospective client seeks, and the type of charity that is seeking funding.

Please note, there are many factors that determine fees associated with the type of research quotes sought.



Consultation

Consultations are conducted when clients call, email, or correspond about either contracted projects, or when clients seek additional information regarding  grant writing, research, or funding opportunity technical supports. Hourly rates begin at $125/hr, with a minimum of 1 hour per consult. Any technical support, advice, or consulting sought beyond the free 30 minute initial consult offered to prospective clients is considered a billable hour, and customers will be billed accordingly.

Hourly rates allow customers to inquire about solicitations, get advice from a grant reviewer's perspective, get assistance with ideas, and help with other areas such as personnel and budget issues. Consults are invaluable. Think of a grant writing consult in the same way you would think of pursuing legal advice from an attorney, a car diagnosis from a mechanic, or receiving a quote for a plumber about home plumbing issues. We know our stuff, we have honed our skills, and we would love to serve you.
