Hey thanks for this! For whatever reason googling "What does a grant writer do?" doesn’t just give you a straight answer. This was the simplest explanation I found and should be higher on the search algo.

[@LearnGrantWriting]

So glad you found this helpful. If you would like additional resources let me know!

[@shannonglover6025]

What does a grant writer typically charge? Is it like commission? Where you get a portion of funds they asked for? Or salary or hourly?

[@LearnGrantWriting]

These are 2021/22 rates which we have updated for 2023 within our program, but this will give you an idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGmcpmaAZ7ZmmZI

[@BobJacobson]

My nonprofit is applying pro bono for a large US government economic development grant. Is there a method specific to USG grants for correlating desirable outcomes and size and varieties of pitches? Ask prior winners, ask elected/appointed officials, etc.? Or is it all seat of the pants? Also, how the heck do you work with Adobe Acrobat, required by the Feds? What a wonderful package of software...except if you use a Mac! How did _that_ happen? I have a hunch....

[@LearnGrantWriting]

Hey Bob. Assuming the grant is through the US Economic Development Administration, those are big bear grants. We have done several. Make sure you are giving yourself plenty of time to apply. Build a relationship with the funder contact in the NOFO. You might consider forging a partnership with a local municipality to improve odds of winning. If you are looking for training and coaching support, you might consider joining our Global Grant Writers Collective.

how can i hire a grant writer to apply for grants for my buisness?

[@LearnGrantWriting]

Hey there! You can hire one of our certified grant writers here: www.learngrantwriting.org/hire-a-grant-writer/

[@noguile2737]

Do grant writers usually have a specific certification for this type of career? Especially if you wanted to freelance or start your own grant writing business

[@LearnGrantWriting]

Great question. There are certifications out there, including one through the Global Grant Writers Collective, that I'm happy to send you more resources on if you're interested. More important than the paper is putting what you learn into practice, which is where most certifications fall short. What interests you about freelance grant writing and starting your own business?
