Identifying what to charge as a grant writer can feel difficult.

It's one of the most frequent questions that I get. So this week, I asked Mandy Pearce from Funding for Good (https://fundingforgood.org/) to come on the YouTube show.

What we identify is there is no magic number, but there is a formula for you to discover what that rate is for you.

Because the most important constant variable in this situation is...You.

To identify what you should charge to write grants depends on some of the following:
✔️Your experience in writing grants
✔️Your experience in securing grants
✔️Your geographic location
✔️Your business expenses
✔️Your sense of worth and value
✔️Your self-confidence
✔️Your understanding of the importance of what you do and the impact
