What is your success rate?
Fordable Fundraising has a solid track record of success. From 2014-2022, we helped our nonprofits secure 670 grant awards totaling $59 Million.
Credibility, sustainability, measurable results and relationship building are the biggest factors playing into fundraising success. Grant writing success varies from organization to organization.
Do you have a specialty area?
Nonprofit solutions can be complex and each cause comes with their own language. Our writers are fluent in the languages of education, a variety of health and human services, and arts and culture solutions.
This includes submissions to private foundations, corporations, and government (federal, state, local).
How do you charge to write a grant? Do you work on commission?
We offer competitive proposal and project rates. Request amount is not a factor in pricing rather the time it takes us to assemble the information and prepare a competitive response.
It is a common misconception grant writers get paid on commission. This is considered unethical by all charity watchdogs and professional associations. Read more about it here: “Why I Never Work for a Percentage and Why You Shouldn’t Offer”.
My nonprofit is a startup; can you help me?
As a general rule, grant makers invest in nonprofit organizations who have operating history with their programs and can demonstrate impact. Many have policies to restrict applications from charities with less than 2 years of operating history.
Remember, all charities were once a start up! Get prepared for your future in grants by investing time and energy in board development, organization planning, collaborative partnerships and measuring the success of your programs.
