At Sage Grant Solutions, we employ a comprehensive and transparent approach to determining our fee structure. The cost is influenced by several key factors, which include but are not limited to:

• Grant Readiness: The level of preparedness of your organization for grant applications.
• Available Information: The extent of existing documentation and data that can be utilized in the grant application.
• Project Complexity: The number of hours estimated to complete the grant application or project.

To provide a more tailored fee estimate, we consider the following specific questions:

1. Is there an existing proposal that can serve as a starting point?
2. Has the targeted funder previously granted funds to your organization or a similar public partner?
3. What is the state of your organization's grant readiness, including the number of new documents that must be created?
4. Has your organization been in operation for more than three years?

Through a consultative process, we work closely with you to ascertain these factors and develop a fee structure that is both fair and reflective of the scope and complexity of your project.

At Sage Grant Solutions, we prioritize flexibility and customization in our fee structures to best accommodate your specific needs and budget constraints. Our pricing models include charging by the hour, offering a flat fee for specific projects, or providing a subscription-based service for ongoing support. We engage in a consultative process with each client to determine the most appropriate and cost-effective fee structure tailored to the unique requirements of your project.

While Sage Grant Solutions employs a rigorous and methodical approach to grant writing and management, it's important to note that we cannot guarantee the successful procurement of grant funds. The grant application process is influenced by a multitude of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors can include, but are not limited to, the design of the agency's program, the target population served, the agency's prior experience, political considerations, and geographical location. However, we are committed to providing you with the highest level of expertise and support throughout the application process to maximize your chances of success.

At Sage Grant Solutions, we offer a variety of flexible pricing options to best suit your needs and circumstances. Our fee structures include an hourly rate, a flat fee, or a monthly subscription model. It's worth noting that we do not operate on a contingency or commission basis. Our primary focus is to collaborate with you to determine the most cost-effective and efficient pricing model that aligns with your project's scope and objectives.

Sage Grant Solutions is not geographically restricted to Nevada. We are pleased to offer our grant management and consulting services to clients across various regions, both nationally and internationally. Our commitment is to serve our clients wherever they are located, ensuring that we meet their specific needs and circumstances, irrespective of geographical boundaries.
