Unfortunately, not everyone or every business qualifies for grant funds.

Non-profit Organizations with an Exempt Status and Charitable Status from IRS may qualify for Foundation Grants as well as Government Grants.
For profit businesses (corporations, partnerships, or sole proprietors) may qualify for Government Grants depending on the specifications of the agency.
Individuals such as artists, educators, and health professionals may qualify for a small number of Foundation Grants depending on the specifications. Other individuals may qualify for government grants; many of these grants are administered by State and Local Governments. Unfortunately, AGWA does not assist students with scholarship applications.

When you contact us, we will tell you whether or not you or your organization is a prospective recipient of grant funds.

Consultants will offer you a variety of services such as:

Researching grant opportunities for your organization
Writing proposals to foundations or applications to government agencies
Reviewing a proposal or application that you have already written
Developing a business plan for your organization
Writing an annual budget or program budget for your organization

You will be quoted an hourly rate or a project price, similar to other professions. Rates are usually $40 - $100 per hour for researching grant opportunities and writing proposals. As a new client, you may be asked to make a down payment, progress payments, or to pay in full when the proposals are delivered to you. It is unethical for a Certified Grant Writer to accept compensation that is a percentage of your grant funds. It is also unethical for compensation to be contingent upon receipt of grant funds.

Please provide the following information about your organization so that AGWA can determine your eligiblity for receiving grant funds and refer you to a Certified Grant Writer Consultant:
