Who Makes an Ideal Tribuos Certified Consultant?

  • Nonprofit fundraising consultants with expertise in at least one nonprofit sector.  While varied experience is always a plus, expertise in a particular sector makes it easier for us to refer our clients and potential clients to you for services outside of grant writing.

  • Current and past clients with whom you feel comfortable making a referral to TurnKey Writing Solutions.  We recommend a client base of at least 15 current and previous clients to meet the minimum annual new business requirement in the first year.

  • A general understanding of how to assess whether a nonprofit will be competitive with grant writing and should pursue grants as a fundraising strategy.  TurnKey has resources to help you and your clients determine grant-readiness prior to a referral.

  • A positive reputation with past and current clients.  While we understand that much of nonprofit consulting success is out of the control of the consultant, your clients should have had a positive experience while working with you and should be ready to recommend you and your services as a Tribuos Certified Consultant.

  • An experienced nonprofit consultant who does not offer grant writing services and is seeking ways to further enhance your relationships with your existing clients by helping meet their needs with TurnKey Writing Solutions, the #1 grant writing subscription service in the United States.

  • And last but not least, an entrepreneur or independent contractor who is looking for ways to increase your income, build or expand your business, and network with other nonprofit consultants across the country.

What Our Clients Say About Our Grant Writing Subscriptions

Southeastern Technical College Foundation 

TurnKey's grant writing and research expertise frees up our staff to work on other responsibilities. The grant we received through working with TurnKey will allow the college to expand the welding program, which will enable more students to enroll.

Red Door Food Pantry

TurnKey Writing Solutions has been so helpful for our nonprofit. We have received 2 grants with their help. They made the process so easy for us.

Next Step Education Foundation

The affordable subscription with TurnKey Writing Solutions allowed us to start building grants into our fundraising strategy in a way that didn't cripple our budget but still got our nonprofit out there competing for funds just as we would have had we hired someone full-time.

TurnKey Writing Solutions Ideal Clients

While our affordable and flexible virtual grant writing subscriptions are designed to help nonprofits of any size, budget, or mission add grants to their fundraising strategy, our ideal and most successful clients:

 

  • Have held an IRS nonprofit status for at least 5 years; 

  • Have at least 3 years of established history providing services directly tied to their current mission (more successful nonprofits have at least 5 years of history); 

  • Have an annual budget of $250,000 or more; 

  • Have paid full-time staff; 

  • Have had some successful grant requests in the last 3-5 years; and

  • Understand that grant writing is not a “get rich quick scheme” for nonprofits and are willing to invest the time (typically a year or more) to build a successful grant strategy, submit high quality grant requests, and wait for responses from grant-makers.

Need Some Ideas?

In most cases, your clients will mention they need help with grant writing or your expertise will recognize that a grant writing service would benefit them.  But, sometimes the out-of-the-blue, cold-call referral can feel a bit awkward and salesy.  

 

Here are some ideas to promote TurnKey Writing Solutions with your network:

  • Email relevant contacts with information about TurnKey, stating specifically how you think our grant writing subscriptions can help their nonprofit. (Note: This works best via one-to-one emails rather than mass emails.)

  • Will you be meeting with someone who could be a potential client? Bring TurnKey up in conversation and gauge their response. Based on their feedback, follow up with an email and more detailed information.

  • Post about TurnKey Writing Solutions on your blog with the links that would be most helpful to your readers.

  • Share links to our information, blog posts, webinars, or other resources on your social media. (Note: While this is a great way to promote, it is less personalized.  Have your social media followers reach out to you for more information or direct them to mention you to us for an exclusive perk or incentive provided by you.)

 

If you'd like help finding a specific piece of content, like a blog post, that works best for your client, email us at info@turnkeywritingsolutions.com.
 

What If Their “No” Really Means “Not Right Now”?

This happens all the time.  Nonprofits are typically hesitant to spend money quickly.  They need time to weigh their options, assess return on investment, and get Board approval.  If this is the case, here are a few ways that TurnKey can nurture a relationship with them, and they could become a client down the line, even if they aren't ready yet. These options might be a good follow-up if they say they're interested, but not right now.

 

 

  • Click here are other freebies and (coming soon) low-cost resources that might be perfect for them in our online store.

  • Do you work with for-profit businesses?
    For-profit businesses do not qualify for grants in the same way as nonprofit organizations. For-profit businesses can receive loans and private investments, but charitable grants (those that do not require repayment) are not available for for-profit businesses. Just Write Grants works exclusively with nonprofit organizations with a 501(c)(3) designation from the IRS. For-profit businesses should contact their bank about U.S. Small Business Association loans that may be available.
  • Does Just Write Grants take a percentage of grants awarded?
    Absolutely not. It is outside of the parameters of fundraising best practices for a grant writer to be paid a commission on a grant awarded. If a funder is aware of this practice, they typically will not award a grant and may ask for those funds to be returned. There are ways to include grant writing expenses in the budgets of some requests, but speak to a grant expert about this directly as there are specific details related to how much and when this is appropriate. Our goal is to help your nonprofit get the funding you need to better serve your clients. All you pay is your monthly subscription rate regardless of how much money you are awarded in grants as a result of our applications.
  • What happens after I subscribe?
    Once your nonprofit subscribes to Just Write Grants, you will receive a welcome email and information about scheduling your New Subscriber Consultation. From that consultation, we'll build your grant proposal package and begin researching funding opportunities.
  • What is the minimum grant amount you submit?
    At Just Write Grants, we understand that every dollar raised for a nonprofit is critical. But, to make the most effective use of time and resources, we typically do not submit grant proposals for requests less than $5,000. This minimum grant amount provides clients with the opportunity for a higher return on investment if granted. In general, most funded grants range between $10,000 and $25,000.
  • Let's say my grant application submissions all take place in the first six months of my twelve-month subscription.  What am I paying for the rest of the year?
    Every client with a subscription to Just Write Grants receives ongoing monthly grant research, regardless of whether their grant submissions threshold has been met. So for the remainder of the year, you will receive updates of funding opportunities that we may have determined are a good fit based on your funding priority. With the grant proposal already drafted, your organization could submit a request on your own. Or we would always be glad to discuss adding a submission to your current subscription package.
  • Who owns the grant narrative after it is written?
    While Just Write Grants owns the completed grant narrative, each client is provided with a final copy in an editable format. It is yours to use for other grant submissions or any other content needs for your fundraising efforts (think major gift presentations, marketing materials, solicitation letters, etc.) We simply ask that you do not sell the narrative. All proprietary information provided by the nonprofit to Just Write Grants will remain confidential outside of any grant submissions. We may use your grant narrative as a writing sample for potential clients when requested, but all identifying information will be redacted.
  • Do I need to renew my subscription every year?
    No. Unless you notify Just Write Grants, your subscription will renew at the same rate each year. Depending on your subscription level, your nonprofit may receive an annual consultation, during which you can change your funding priority and revise your grant proposal. This revision gives nonprofits an easy and affordable way to focus on a different funding need each year.
  • Do you offer subscriptions less than twelve months?
    No. Our twelve-month subscriptions ensure that Just Write Grants is able to review and research as many funding opportunities as possible on behalf of your organization. Deadlines vary and can change from year to year. With a twelve-month perspective, Just Write Grants can be prepared to submit your application with enough time to fully develop your proposal, research the funder properly, work to build a relationship with that organization to ensure that your application has a high likelihood of success, and follow up with any post-grant reporting needs. Our contracts help us keep your costs affordable! Unlike a typical consultant that charges by the hour or project, we prorate our services over a 12-month period to provide our clients with affordable, easy-to-manage, monthly rates. The fee associated with early cancellation covers the prorated cost of services. For additional questions related to billing, please contact us at info@justwritegrants.com.
  • Why doesn't the Basic subscription level include monthly conference calls?
    The Basic subscription level is designed for nonprofits that are just getting started in grant writing. In order to keep the cost of that plan as low as possible, we provide email only support. While we will always answer your questions and address your concerns, if you need additional support and consulting, we recommend you consider upgrading to one of our other subscription plans. Our Premium, Pro, and Expert plans include a more comprehensive approach to managing grants more similarly to what you could expect from a full-time grant writer.
  • Can I cancel my subscription?
    You can provide written notice that you will not be renewing your subscription within 30 days of the your renewal date during your first year or any subsequent years. However, if you cancel prior to thirty days before your renewal date, you will be charged a fee (based on your subscription level) for the remaining months of that 12-month period. Unlike a typical consultant that charges by the hour or project, we prorate our services over a 12-month period to provide our clients with affordable, easy-to-manage, monthly rates. The fee associated with early cancellation covers the prorated cost of services. For additional questions related to billing, please contact us at info@justwritegrants.com.
  • What happens if none of the grants submitted are successfully funded?  What return on my investment have I received?
    Our goal is the same as yours: we want your organization to receive funding from each grant request we submit and raise as much money as possible for your nonprofit. However, the reality of grant writing, whether you work with Just Write Grants, another consultant, or hire someone full-time, is that not all requests are funded. This is due to a variety of reasons, some of which are out of the control of the grant writer. But, with Just Write Grants' unique subscriptions, you do not walk away empty-handed. Our clients receive editable copies of the grant proposal, cover letter, and letter of inquiry drafted for them at the beginning of their subscription period. Your organization is free to use these documents, valued between $1,200 and $1,500, to submit grant requests or use in other marketing or fundraising documents (think e-newsletters, direct mail solicitations, your website, etc.). You also receive 12 months of grant research. Your organization is free to pursue any funding match we've identified, but have not moved forward with on your behalf. Your nonprofit receives all of this, plus grant submissions, at a fraction of the cost of hiring someone full-time.
  • Do we have to sign a contract?
    Yes. Upon subscribing, new clients will be contacted by a member of the Just Write Grants team who will provide a copy of the contract for signature. This contract is required for all new clients. You can review our terms and conditions by visiting Our Subscriptions page. Or you can contact us at any time. Call 1-866-7GRANTS or email info@justwritegrants.com.
  • Can I expect a grant award in the first 12 months of my subscription?
    Securing a grant award for our clients is our top priority. Your success is our success. But, grants fundraising is a marathon, not a sprint. In most cases, it takes longer than 12 months to secure your first grant, especially if this is your organization's first attempt at grant requests. Grants take time to research, cultivate, and develop the right "ask." And grant awards are based on someone else's timeline. Deadlines and review times can vary wildly from one grant-maker to the next. In some cases, a grant proposal can be put together and sent in within a matter of weeks. In other cases, it can take months. While it is entirely possible for a requested grant to be funded in the first 12 months of your subscription, it is more likely that it will take longer than one year. You should consider your engagement with us as a long-term relationship.
  • Do you work with for-profit businesses?
    For-profit businesses do not qualify for grants in the same way as nonprofit organizations. For-profit businesses can receive loans and private investments, but charitable grants (those that do not require repayment) are not available for for-profit businesses. Just Write Grants works exclusively with nonprofit organizations with a 501(c)(3) designation from the IRS. For-profit businesses should contact their bank about U.S. Small Business Association loans that may be available.
  • Do you work with individuals seeking grants?
    No. Our subscriptions are designed to assist 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with finding and submitting grant requests for charitable purposes only. While individuals may certainly qualify for some grants from private foundations and/or local, state, or federal government grants, we do not have the resources available to provide those services. We recommend researching grant writers with this specialty on LinkedIn.
  • Do you work with charitable organizations outside of the United States?
    Currently, we do not work with charitable organizations registered outside of the United States because our research databases that we use to find grant opportunities do not extend to international opportunities. We can work with organizations that are headquartered and registered in the United States with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization but provide services abroad.
  • What is the average grant amount funded?
    Typically, funded grants range from $10,000 to $25,000. However, this amount can vary based on the specific funder.
  • Can you guarantee we will receive a grant award?
    No. And don't let any other grant writer or consultant make this promise to you. While no one can guarantee you will receive a grant award, our process is set up to ensure that we are applying for opportunities on your behalf that we believe have the highest likelihood of success. This likelihood is determined through research, communication with the funder, and over a decade of experience writing and submitting grant proposals. When we send an application for your nonprofit, we believe strongly that it will be successful or we won't send it. Once it is sent, there are many factors that contribute to whether or not a grant is awarded. These factors are the same whether you work with Just Write Grants, hire an external consultant, or hire a full-time grant writer. However, working with an experienced grant writer who understands the nuances of fundraising will improve your chances of success.
  • Do you work with for-profit businesses?

    Every client with a subscription to Just Write Grants receives ongoing monthly grant research activity reports, regardless of whether their grant submissions threshold has been met. So for the remainder of the year, you will receive monthly updates of funding opportunities that we have researched and some that we may have determined are a good fit based on your funding priority. With the grant proposal already drafted, your organization could submit a request on your own. Or we would always be glad to discuss adding a submission to your current subscription package.
