Do I have to pay for this service?
The first year of the Grant Specialist position has been funded through community partners. We ask that organizations who receive funding will contribute a small service fee. This will help us to create a sustainable long term grant writer position in Pincher Creek. The fee for this service must come from your operating budget.
Please contact the grant specialist with your request for more information.
Do I pay a fee if we don't receive a grant?
No.
Can small businesses use this service?
Yes, the fee structure is different for small businesses than it is for Community Organizations. Please contact us for more information on this service.
Who decides which grant is written first?
Grant submissions are based on the grant deadlines. If there are competing deadlines the grant writer will do the best they can to handle multiple grants at the same time. If there is a conflict the Steering Committee will be asked to step in.
