- "Recognized" grant writer??
Posted by Joe Hardesty  on 12/1/2008, 10:14 am|
I colleague of mine at a local historical society mentioned the other day that her government grant proposal was being held up in the review process because, even though she is employed by said society, she is not a "recognized grant writer" for that society. I have not heard that government grant administrators can / do require proposals come from known grant writers. Have you heard this? And for that matter, can / do private foundation have the same stipulation(s)??

I was interested to view your posting, Joe. We at the Foundation Center have little experinence with the process of applying for government grants, since we receive no government funding ourselves. So I'm hoping someone out there with that kind of experience will respond.
One thought I have is to post something similar on PND Talk at http://members4.boardhost.com/PNDtalk/.
It gets a broader audience than just our CC supervisors.
As to foundation funding, we always tell people that it's best to have the person closest to the actual project prepare the proposal (e.g. "write the grant"). So that would let out a "recognized" grant writer i most instances. In my experience, few nonprofit organizations are big enough to have someone in that role, anyhow, since most folks wear several hats.
I'm not sure this helps, and I hope others will have more thoughts on the matter.
