I believe that the $60 to $70 per-hour
range is usual, and with the right person, it is fair and reasonable?
Naturally, the hourly rate and the
resultant total fee will be significantly impacted by the relative efficiency of each
grant writer. As well, grantwriters could charge by the project once they assess
the full range and scope of the job, but the flat fee for time expended would probably
closely factor out to the hourly rate I cited.
However, as I strongly encourage in my article, neither party should in any way arrange
compensation to be paid on a "contingent-pay" basis. That is, do not enter into
a contract which would have a grant writer paid a commission, bonus, or percentage of a
grant award --- or from any other available funds.? And especially do not arrange payment
upon award of the grant in the first place.
