Do you work on commission?
The short answer is No. It is vital to note that grant writers do not work on commission and are not given a percentage of awarded grant funds. To do so is considered unethical and it also violates foundation, government, and corporate funding guidelines, and you could lose the grant. Additionally, there can be legal consequences.
As a member of both the Grant Professionals Association and the Association of Fundraising Professionals, I adhere to both organizations’ Codes of Ethics.
