This is not another how to write
a grant proposal book. Unlike
existing books, "Getting Grants"
argues that no matter the type
of organization, there is a direct
relationship between the
organizations internal proposal
development process and how
successful the organization is at
securing grant funding.

Notes:

None of the above services are provided on a “contingency basis.”  This
particularly applies to grant writing services, whereby payment for services
rendered is required whether or not a client is awarded a grant or contract.

Compensation for grant proposal preparation services shall not be paid based
on a percentage of a grant or contract award.  

With government grants and contracts, the cost of proposal preparation cannot
be included in a budget as a direct cost -- it must be part of an organization’s
overhead or administrative costs.

Very few foundations or other grant making organizations will permit the use of
grant funds to pay for proposal preparation services.
