In today's economy competition for foundation, governmental and corporate dollars is fiercer than ever. The overwhelming majority of grant and funding proposals are rejected. Developing a successful grant proposal requires more than just writing skills. Successful proposal development requires someone who knows what reviewers look for when determining what organizations, agencies, projects and programs will get funded.

Five benefits of outsourcing grants research and grant writing to a seasoned, qualified professional:

1. Raise more money for your agency, organization, project or program: A professional grant writer is focused on one thing—helping organizations and agencies get grants. There are thousands of foundations, corporations and government grant programs—a professional knows where to look for funding opportunities that you, your staff or volunteers might miss.
2. Re-direct internal resources to core activities: Every minute you or your employees spend on an activity that does not directly add value to your organization/agency or contribute directly to fulfilling your Mission is a cost that can be saved. Organizations and agencies that outsource grants research and grant writing functions to qualified experts are able focus on their core competencies.
3. Direct access to expertise: There is more competition for grants than ever before—using a novice or someone who lacks sufficient training and expertise is a waste of time for everyone.
4. Lower costs : Hiring a full- or part-time grant writer can be expensive and for organizations and agencies on a tight budget, out of reach or not feasible. Contracting with a professional means that you only pay for the services you need, when need them.
5. Maximize efficiency and alleviate stress: Researching grants and preparing grant proposals is stressful. Using an outside consultant takes pressure off you and your staff.

Choosing a proposal writer

You should choose someone to conduct grants research and write grants for your organization or agency carefully. Here are some questions to consider when looking at outsourcing the grants research and grant writing function:

1. What expertise is important to my organization/agency? Look for someone whose experience and/or background is relevant to what you do.
2. Does the consultant proposed a targeted, focused approach? Some grant writers favor the “throw enough out there and something will stick approach.” Not only does this not help you obtain the funding you need but it can damage your reputation among funders and diminish your chances of getting funded in the future.
3. Does the consultant understand our organization/agency and understand what we do and/or what we want to do with the funding that we are seeking?
4. Is the consultant qualified and can he or she provide references?
