Free Grant Writer Quote Template
Grant writers quote before starting because the research and strategy phase of a major grant application can take as long as the writing itself. A quote sets the scope, the submission deadline, and what happens if the funder changes requirements mid-process.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a grant writer charge?
Freelance grant writers charge €65 to €150 per hour or a flat project fee. A major foundation grant proposal (5,000 words) costs €1,500 to €4,000. Smaller applications to community funds cost €500 to €1,200. Some grant writers charge a success fee of 5% to 10% on awarded grants, though this is controversial in the nonprofit sector.
What does a grant writing quote typically include?
A grant proposal quote usually covers funder research, needs statement, programme description, budget narrative, evaluation plan, and one round of revisions. If the client needs help assembling supporting documents (audited accounts, letters, CVs), quote those separately.
What if the grant application isn't successful?
Grant writers charge for their time and expertise regardless of the outcome. A quote should make clear that the fee is for the service of writing the application, not for securing the award. Avoid any agreement that ties your payment entirely to a successful outcome.
