How to Avoid Losing Your Grant and How to Pay a Grant Writer
By: The Fundraising Copywriter
If you’re serious about acquiring funds for your organization through grant applications, you are no doubt hiring, or at least considering hiring, a professional grant writer.
The problem is that few non-profits can afford a professional grant writer’s fees, which can often climb to $8000 or more per application or $100 or more per hour!
So what’s a non-profit to do?
As a grant writer myself, I face my own problems.
I have to think, when setting my fees, about the non-profits I’m looking to work for and what they can reasonably afford to pay out.
But I also have to think about myself. I have to set reasonable fees to ensure I’m contributing enough to my household and providing sufficient support to my family.
I’m not here to tell you that my fees are the best and that you should hire me for your grant work.
In fact, I’m going to let you in on a few secrets that most professional grant writers would rather you didn’t know.
And by doing this, I’m probably ensuring that I never make those millions that most writers aim for and will do anything to grab.
But I am doing this for a more important reason, as you will see as you read on.
There are three main methods of paying a grant writer and most grant writers have their own rules as to how they are paid.
They are:
Hourly
By Commission
Per Project
Let’s cover these one by one.
Most grant writers will charge by the hour. Paying a grant writer on an hourly basis for their work can cost a non-profit a lot of money.
Why?
Who’s to say how many hours that grant writer has spent on the work? He or she may quote 50 hours altogether but may have only spent 30 on the work.
See the problem here?
As we’re talking about hiring freelancers here, let me just mention the disadvantages of hiring someone full time for the work.
Obviously, non-profits will have to provide a salary and benefits to any full time workers and that includes our grant writer.
That’s another chunk added to the non-profit’s expenses.
And what’s the point in hiring someone to write grants full time when no non-profit spends a whole year, year after year, applying for grants?
Waste of money.
Let’s look at payment method number 2. continue reading

Legal Thriller Author Analyzes Paper Trails Scams
By: Jack Payne
If 75% of women wear the wrong bra size, and 75% of men wear shirts with the wrong sleeve length, is it any wonder that so many people do not understand paper trails, do not understand their critical roles in con games? Fraud, shell games, scandal-revelation and creation, and rip-offs of every kind flower from this tell-tale debris.
And, alas, most importantly, it is essential to understand how all of this paper trail information is tied together by social security numbers. (For the intent to rob you blind, this information collecting method is, obviously, patently illegal. continue reading

Pardon me, but I thought free, freebie, no cost, free download as well as many others, meant just that!
By: Theresa Twogood
You all know what I am referring to and I'm sure you are as fed up as I am with all the parsing of common words to misrepresent something, someone or both. The parsing of commonly held words is stupid and will not be tolerated by the masses any longer! If an advertiser wants us to dance a jig or jump through hoops to receive their low cost, almost worth nothing, free or freebie item all they must do is simply say so. Rather than parsing of words to mean almost free or free if you are new to our service, or free for the taking but it will exclude you from future almost free or freebies items, just simply say so. continue reading
