The Nonprofit Consultant

MARCH 29, 2006

As a professional grant writer, I usually charge an hourly fee, or sometimes a flat fee per project. Never do I charge a percentage of funds received or in any other way work on spec or contingency. First off, this is just accepted professional practice in the nonprofit industry. Second, as a professional I need to be paid fairly for my work. But, most importantly, it is a matter of ethics.

Today I was working on an LOI for a client to the David B. Gold Foundation , who have initiated a very nice online submission system. Several foundations have gone this route lately so I thought I'd take a moment to discuss online grant applications. Drawbacks: I do tend to be a bit of a control freak. When I am preparing a proposal, I like to make sure everything is perfect, from the choice of fonts to the quality of the paper.

Today I wanted to share a resource that came to my attention by email. Holly Micheletos of "Grant Wrangler" contacted me and introduced me to the site. I thought it was a pretty well organized site for those searching for grants for schools and teachers. I found the search feature easy to use, with clear categories, and an interface that loaded quickly without a lot of un-related information getting in the way.

This is the debut posting of my new "Nonprofit Consultant Blog." I intend to use this space for fundraising tips, grant writing information, and general nonprofit resources news and links. I welcome you to the blog, and to my web site. Until there are more resources posted here, I invite you to click around my web site (goldsteinconulsting.com) and learn about my consulting and grant writing services.
