Our longevity is a testament to our consistent performance and our clients' trust in us.

16. Can we write the grant writing fee into the grant?

No, grant writing is considered a service, and most grants, including operational and salary grants, do not allow the inclusion of a "grant writing" position in the budget. These grants are meant to support operational overhead and salaries. We strive to make our fees affordable.

17. Do we pay after the grant has been granted?

No, payment is due for the research and development of the grant proposal, not based on the grant's approval. We charge for our actual time, service, experience, and education.

Many factors influence the approval of grants. As grant writers, we diligently ensure you have a high chance of success before applying. If you are not approved, we have policies and procedures in place to ensure customer satisfaction.

21. If I qualify, does it mean guaranteed money?

No, we cannot guarantee funding, as we do not control the funding organizations. However, we conduct a comprehensive intake, consultation, and high-quality grant research to ensure you have the best chance of winning.

GRANT WRITING, CONSULTING & TRAINING COMPENSATION POLICY

At Clear Grant Consulting, we prioritize transparency, fairness, and ethical practices in all our business undertakings. As part of this commitment, we want to clarify our compensation policies for all consulting and training services.

Flat Fee Structure

We have adopted a flat fee structure, where clients pay a fixed or per-project fee, with a deposit required upfront. This structure promotes mutual trust, as clients know what to expect, and allows us to focus entirely on delivering quality service without the influence of variable pay.

Performance-Based Bonuses

We recognize and appreciate our team's hard work and dedication. Therefore, we are open to performance-based bonuses that adhere to our company's practices. However, these bonuses will not be based on a percentage of any grant consulting services or grant funds awarded to our clients.

No Finder's Fees or Commissions: We do not accept or pay finder's fees, commissions, or any other percentage-based compensation for our grant writing work. This maintains the purity and integrity of the grant process.

Discouraging Unethical Payments: We urge corporations and organizations to refrain from offering percentage-based payments. This ensures that the grant writing process remains unbiased and in the best interest of the cause it intends to support.

Adherence to Funder's Guidelines: Every funder has a unique set of guidelines. We respect and prioritize these directives, working in close alignment with them. This ensures compliance and strengthens our relationships with funders, reinforcing trust and mutual respect.

In conclusion, our policies emphasize our dedication to maintaining professionalism, integrity, and ethical standards.
