Retainer Levels
Our services are available once a retainer fee is received from the client and the business agreement is signed.
A common misconception regarding grant writers, 'Can't you pay yourself with the grant funding?' No, unfortunately, we can not. Grant writers can not compensate their time with grant funding.
Below are our three offered retainer levels and what we recommend for your Grant Journey
Kayak
Level I Retainer
The Kayak (Level I Retainer) $500 fee is recommended for local or smaller grants. A Kayak fee would typically cover about a week of grant writing services.
Canoe
Level II Retainer
The Canoe (Level II Retainer) $1,000 fee is recommended for state grants. The Canoe would approximately cover 1 - 2 weeks of grant writing services.
Pontoon
Level III Retainer
The Pontoon (Level III Retainer) $3,000 is recommended for larger state grants, federal grant opportunities, or multiple projects seeking grant funding.
