Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on a commission or contingency of funds raised?
No, and we recommend that you do not pay fundraisers on a commission or contingency basis. According to The Association of Fundraising Professional’s Code of Ethical Principles and Standards, “Members shall not accept compensation or enter into a contract that is based on a percentage of contributions; nor shall members accept finder’s fees or contingent fees.”
Do you guarantee a specific amount of funds to be raised?
No, for a number of reasons. First, donor behavior is uncertain and various factors can impact your fundraising activities including personal finances, economic conditions and donor interest.
Do you write only private foundation grants?
No, we write grants and funding applications for private foundations, corporations, city, state and federal agencies. We also do service contracts, fee-for-service agreements and more. We craft campaign case statements, winning award nominations and provide speech-writing services.
How long are your contracts and how long does it take to see fundraising results?
Our contracts are a minimum of 12 months.
How long does it take to see fundraising results?
Responses from potential funders can take anywhere from 4 to 12 months. We consider grant seeking a “long-game,” and recommend contracts for 12 to 18 months to create a solid foundation at the nonprofit.
