Top 2 Grant Myths

#1. YOU CAN APPLY FOR HUNDREDS OF GRANTS WITH A SINGLE APPLICATION.
Some grant writers submit the same proposal to hundreds of potential funders, a “shotgun”
approach which merely wastes a client’s time and money. Almost every funder has specific
application guidelines which allow them to quickly detect – and dismiss – mass-produced
submissions. Preaux Educational Services tailors each letter of intent or grant application to meet
specified guidelines.

#2. WRITING FEES
CAN BE PAID FROM THE GRANT.
Many inexperienced or unethical grant writers try to bill clients based on commission as paid from a grant
award, an illegal practice that can jeopardize entire programs. With few exceptions, grant writing fees
cannot be paid from nor reimbursed from grant funds. Grant writing is a specialized professional service –
which must be paid for at the time of service.
