The Top 3 Benefits to Outsourcing Your Nonprofit’s Grant Writing
As someone who has worked both in-house and as a contract grant writer for nonprofits, I can attest to the value of outsourcing your grant writing. Here the top three benefits to outsourcing:
- Cost-Effective
A contract grant writer cost your organization less than one full-time grant writer’s salary because you do not pay for a 40-hour week nor incur the costs of payroll taxes and benefits.
- Time
According to Upward Development, completing a grant proposal takes anywhere from 6 to 40 hours. By outsourcing this time to a contract grant writer, you are freeing up your staff to focus on your programming and organizational needs.
- Objectivity
A contract grant writer offers an outsider’s perspective on your agency, meaning they can give you objective recommendations on ways to improve so that you are more competitive for funding opportunities.
