Grant Writing & Funding How to Identify What Rates to Charge as a Grant Writer
Grant writers ask me this question a lot, “Holly, how much should I charge to write grants?”
While executive directors at nonprofit organizations ask me, “How much should I expect to pay to hire a freelance grant writer?”
My answer… Well, there certainly is no magic number.
But there are systems to identify what rates YOU can charge as a grant writer.
Because the most important constant variable in this situation is…You.
Whether that is you as a freelance grant writer or you as an executive director. What are you willing to charge or what are you willing to pay?
