2. Payment Terms:

The Client agrees to compensate the Grant Writer for services rendered as follows:

2.1 Fee Structure

A payment is required in the form of a flat fee which is set at $500. This fee applies to each grant proposal that is completed.

2.2 Payment Schedule

Upon the submission of the grant proposal to the respective funding organization, there is a timeframe of 30 days within which the appropriate payment should be made. It is therefore expected that the payment should be settled within these 30 days following the submission of the grant proposal.

2.3 Method of Payment

The individual or entity responsible should make the necessary payment using a bank transfer, and this transaction should be directed towards the account belonging to the individual or entity who carried out the grant writing duties.

3. Deadlines:

Both parties agree to adhere to the following deadlines:

3.1 Draft Proposal Submission

The individual occupying the role of the Grant Writer will have the responsibility to prepare a draft for each grant proposal. Once all the necessary information and materials have been received by the Grant Writer, they will then provide the Client with the draft within a time frame of 10 business days.

3.2 Feedback and Revision Period

Upon receiving draft proposals from the Grant Writer, the Client will take a timeframe of 5 business days within which they will provide their feedback. In addition to this, they will also communicate any revisions they want to be made to the proposals that were initially drafted by the Grant Writer.

3.3 Final Proposal Submission

The application deadline for any grant proposal is a critical marker that we must respect. With that in mind, the final, polished versions of these proposals will be diligently prepared for submission. They will be handed over to their respective funding organizations in a timely and punctual manner. We will ensure that this is done no later than 5 business days before the deadline. By adhering to this schedule, we hope to decrease the likelihood of any potential errors that could occur due to last-minute submissions and increase our chances of securing the grant.
