Can we spend the grant money for other purposes?
You can only use the grant funds according to the purpose(s) stated in your application or proposal. If the fund is for building a house, you must spend it for that very purpose and not for your personal needs. For this reason, funding organizations require a detailed budget plan to guarantee that grantees will spend the money wisely. Likewise, most foundations demand a monitoring of the first month of operations and even the whole program period. This makes sure everything goes as stated in the proposal. They ask the grantee to submit a grant report to show how they have spent the funds and what they have achieved through the grant.
Why do government and private organizations give out monies?
The government gives out money to people/entities that can point out the benefits of their proposed program(s) such as generating more jobs and reducing homelessness and poverty in the country. As jobs increase, more people will pay their taxes and this will enable the government to support infrastructures for the development of states, cities, and counties. Taxes help the government complete its programs such as granting loans and giving assistance and services to the public. Private organizations give financial assistance to individuals and organizations that share the same mission and vision as them. These help them fulfill their mission better and let them utilize their resources further as they carry out their social responsibilities.
Can we apply for funding anytime?
Most funds are available only during specific periods. Not all grants are obtainable throughout the year. It is best to know the schedule of funding institutions to accept, review, and approve grant proposals before applying with them.
Can we have a proposal and submit it to all organizations that we consider?
Foundations and grantors support different programs and missions to help the community. We advise applicants to determine the program a grantor funds before considering submitting an application with them. Each funding organization’s grant giving activity supports or have the inclination to support an applicant’s program(s) that it also pursues. Check their “Eligibility Requirements” or “Criteria for Funding” before applying with them to make sure you qualify for the grant.
Can I apply for several grants all at the same time?
Yes. You can submit your application to different grant programs, all at the same time, as long as you or your organization and your program(s) match(es) the requirements of each funder. You must also tender your application by the funder’s deadline, if there is any.
After approval of my grant application, when do I receive the funds?
Acquiring funds requires hard work. You must consider many factors to gain support and the attention of funding organizations to approve your request. Given these instances, one needs expertise in grant writing. Professional writers understand the need of every applicant for funding. They are knowledgeable in converting your ideas into effectively written proposals.
What is an effective proposal?
The federal government and funding organizations award financial assistance to grant applicants with proposals that create social change and development in their communities and nearby areas. Therefore, an effective grant proposal explains, in full detail, the worth of a particular program. It captures and converts into words the ideas and/or plans of organizations or individuals.
If awarded with the grant money, will Grants Master ask for a percentage or commission of the funds?
No. We do not ask clients to give us a percentage or part of the grant funds awarded to them. The price(s) we charge is/are fixed and flat. We have no hidden or additional charges other than the rate(s) for the package and, if so, for any additional services you ordered.
