 | Ann Ronan Hello all, does anyone have experience preparing a Fulbright grant application? I've been approached by a physician who wants to apply and I don't have expertise in that area (or the time right now to get up to speed on it). I'm happy to share his contact info with someone who has experience. Ann

 | Marti Fischer I am crowdsourcing trends for an upcoming presentation on the following topic-'How do you determine if your organization is 'grant ready'?' Please comment, and if you use any tools such as checklists, matrix, etc. and would like to share them I would be most appreciative. Any information used in the presentation will be sourced as yours. Many thanks for your help. The feedback I have gotten so far has been amazing, so thank you in advance for sharing your experiences.

 | Rose Atkinson Hi Jennene, I do not track the amount of time it takes, but I can say it has taken me a full week to work on a corporate one, 8-10 hours for a local government one, and less than two hours for a small private foundation.

 | Jennene Colky Several years ago, a poster to the old GRANTS forum posed the question "How long does it take to do a grant?" My recollection is that, first, we defined "doing" a grant to include conceptualizing, planning, researching funders and, finally, writing proposals to meet funder requirements, including the time of everyone involved, not just "the grantwriter." A vigorous discussion ensued and we ended up with a consensus (sort of) on average number of hours. Two questions: 1) has anyone out there, for whatever reason, actually saved this info? And, 2) what would the group say regarding hours on the above-described work for federal, state, local public funding, as well as for private foundation, corporate foundation funding and even the LOI, as these are the categories for which hours were developed in that long-ago original post. Your input is appreciated.
a year ago | |  Cheryl KesterJennene, I have no idea where I found this information, but years ago I saw something in print that said 80-100 hours for federal grants. I don't usually track my time, but when I started consulting I did so I could set reasonable flat fees. I am a fast worker, and I have found this estimate to be true, if not low.
Don't know if there is an "industry standard" for a foundation grant, but as you know, these are all over the map in how complex they are. If it is a new client, we can spend upwards of 30 to 40 hours on their first proposal as we really dig deeply into getting to know their organization and its mission and learning to "talk like them." Subsequent proposals for the same project would not take as long. However, if we have to more than write a one page letter, the minimum is probably 10 hours of client contact, project discussions, strategizing about how to present the budget or the objectives, and then writing and editing, of course. Hope this helps.
 Doris Jean HeroffJennene, I believe I have this on my old computer....or at my last place of full time employment where I still have an email account and records. I will search for this, but I believe that Cheryl is correcct on the Federal Grants. I believe we said that it was 40-50 hours for the average grant that had a fairly sophisticated set of guidelines and approx. one day for small grants or for letters of intent. If I find that thread, I will post it or send it to you directly.
