Flat Fee Assignments

• Grant Writing
  Fees for most grant writing assignments range from $6,500 - $12,500 depending on the complexity of the proposal and the length of time we have to complete the assignment.
• Foundation/Corporate Giving Proposals
  We will complete a comprehensive search of foundation/corporate giving sources for a single project concept; draft a foundation letter proposal; and prepare applications to the five best sources identified in the search for a fee of $8,000, or the ten best sources for $9,000.
• Grant Source Research
  Customized grant source research is available for any project concept. This may include keyword searches of databases of federal grant programs and 20,000 foundation/corporate giving sources, as well as telephone surveys/Internet research of state and local government sources. The fee usually ranges from $4,000 - $8,000, based on the project concept and scope of the search.
• Nonprofit Incorporations
  For $6,000, we will complete all paperwork necessary to establish a new nonprofit corporation in your state. This includes articles of incorporation, by-laws, an application for state tax exemption (if applicable) and an application to the IRS for a 501(c)3 letter of determination. Please keep in mind that you will be responsible for filing fees, which cost approximately $600.

Editing/Technical Assistance
Complete editing of client prepared proposals, as well as technical assistance, is available on an hourly basis. The hourly rate is $200 per hour, with a ten hour minimum payable in advance.

Retainer Agreements
Under a retainer arrangement, a monthly retainer amount is set, usually in the $2,000 - $4,000 range. We are available to conduct grant source research, alert you to grant opportunities, prepare proposals and provide ongoing advice and consultation through our "800" number or via the Internet. We will keep track of hours worked with hours billed at a 25% discount from our standard hourly rate. Hours not used in a given month will be "banked" for use in future months. The retainer is due at the start of each month and there is a three month minimum. The discounted hourly rate for retainer clients is $150 per hour.

Not-to-Exceed Agreements
In this approach, a mutually agreed upon not-to-exceed amount is set to complete an assignment or provide ongoing assistance. There is a $10,000 minimum. A 25% deposit is required, with fees billed monthly on a time and materials basis, according to our hourly rate schedule, discounted by 25%. The deposit is retained until billings reach 75% of the not-to-exceed amount, at which time hours are billed against the deposit. The discounted hourly rate is $150 per hour.

Expenses
Expenses for all types of assignments are billed at cost, plus 15%, and include such items as overnight delivery service, copying and production of submission documents.
