Trying to get ahead is difficult enough in the for-profit world, but the challenges are even greater in a non-profit one. Prices can't be raised to make up for market dips, and there is only so far an organization can go in trimming the excesses when most or all of its personnel are volunteers in the first place.

We can identify with those struggles so we base our rates on strictly a time and materials basis. We don't charge a percentage because the cost of a project has nothing to do with the amount of time and effort it takes to research and prepare a grant application. Just because your organization is asking for a larger amount of money doesn't mean you should have to pay more in our book.

We already know how much time it takes to prepare applications for many different programs so our prices for those are set below. For any grant programs not listed we will investigate the costs and give you a set price up front before any work is done or any commitments are made so that there are no surprises. We also don't require an up front payment; just a purchase order or a signed contract is all we need to begin working to find the funding your organization needs.

Public Safety Programs:

• Assistance to Firefirefighters (AFG), SAFER, Fire Prevention & Safety - $300 (individual applications)
• AFG, SAFER, FP&S Regional applications - $400 for 2 organizations, $150 each additional organization
• USDA Rural Emergency Initiative - $500
• Fire Station Construction (FSC) - $600
• Most Department of Homeland Security programs - $500 and up
• Private Foundations - vary by program, average $500

Non-Profit/Educational

• US Department of Agriculture - $500
• US Department of Education - vary by program, average $750
• Private Foundations - vary by program, average $500

Our prices are one-time fees for project & application development. If your application is not funded then we will continue to work on that application to that grant program until it is funded at no charge for narrative & project development updates. If we assist with online application entry or document creation then the resubmit fee is just $50 to cover office expenses.
