How the Process Works
Schedules are extremely limited and Dunn Brook is not a fit for every project.
1: Identify the Project
The project plan is a huge first step. If the budget and project details are still being worked out, that’s fine – project structure typically changes during the grant development stage anyway. However, if there is no project goal or specific RFP in mind yet – even if the funding would go towards a worthy cause – the project is probably not a fit for Dunn Brook at this time.
2: Have a Conversation
If you’ve identified a project and have a funding source in mind, schedule a conversation to see if Dunn Brook is a fit. Each project is assessed individually for factors including schedule availability; complexity of the project and the RFP; deadlines; and more. Not every project is a fit – and if accepted, hourly rates will vary by project in relation to those same factors.
3: Develop the Grant
Proposals require commitment and heavy involvement from the project management team. While theoretically a grant writer could build your project framework from scratch, the best foundation for long-term success is laid when the staff who will manage the project also designed it. Grant development is a partnership between grant writers and the applicant.
