Your Trusted Partner for Contingency Grant Writing and Transparent Pricing
Below are the most common fee options available to our clients. Our contingency option is the most popular, allowing eligible organizations to pursue grant funding with no upfront costs. Nonprofit organizations are offered a reduced fee structure consisting of a monthly retainer fee plus half of our standard contingency fee.
Contingency Fee
We provide comprehensive grant submission services, including application writing, packaging and budget.
Our contingency grant writing model allows eligible organizations to move forward with strong proposals without upfront grant writing fees. Under this model, our fee is contingent upon the successful award of grant funding.
Services under this model include support through the entire application process, from initial consultation to submission and follow-up. We ensure alignment with funder guidelines, compliance requirements, and proper resource allocation to maximize our client’s chances of success.
We also guide clients through the assessment criteria and assist in drafting a clear and compelling grant proposal tailored to your objectives. Our team incorporates a cost analysis to ensure that your budget preparation reflects realistic needs and funder expectations.
The contingency grant writing process also includes risk assessment and contingency planning to address any issues that may arise during the review process or grant evaluation.
Once a grant is awarded, we offer award management and help your team understand reporting requirements and work plan execution to maintain funder satisfaction.
Flat Fee
We offer a flat rate for grant submission services, which includes application preparation, submission, budget preparation, and all necessary documentation.
Organizations choosing the flat-fee model often prefer the predictability of a set cost. This option may be ideal for clients who have allocated internal funding or require detailed assistance for complex proposals involving collaborative funding or multiple partners.
As part of this service, we walk you through the full scope of the application process including the detailed preparation of attachments, narrative, and budget.
Evaluations
We offer comprehensive evaluation services, which include assessing grant performance, ensuring compliance with grant objectives, conducting budget analysis, and preparing all necessary documentation.
Our services may also include on-site visits and meetings with staff to gather detailed insights and ensure thorough evaluations. Fees for these services range from $4,000 to $10,000, reflecting the scope and complexity of the evaluation required.
Each evaluation includes both formative and summative grant evaluation strategies. We help identify gaps, monitor success indicators, and prepare structured follow-up reports based on measurable metrics.
Our team supports data collection efforts and provides clarity on stakeholder roles and responsibilities throughout the implementation process. Evaluations are aligned with funder expectations and include detailed reporting on goals achieved, spending accuracy, and sustainability potential.
Nonprofit Organizations
We offer a reduced fee structure specifically for nonprofit organizations. Under this model, nonprofit clients pay a monthly retainer fee for grant writing services along with a contingency fee equal to half of our standard contingency rate upon successful grant award.
This reduced-fee structure provides nonprofit organizations with access to ERI's comprehensive grant development services, including application preparation, narrative development, budget preparation, required documentation, and submission support.
