Questions

Do you write federal grants?
No. Foundation Draft does not prepare federal or state government grant applications.
Do you work for a percentage of the award?
No. Foundation Draft does not charge a success fee or any percentage of an award. The fee is the flat amount stated above, whether or not a grant is awarded.
Can you guarantee that we will win?
No. Foundation Draft does not guarantee that a grant will be awarded. Grant decisions belong to the funder.
Where do the facts in a letter or proposal come from?
Every factual claim is written from the organization’s own documents and from cited public sources. We do not invent outcomes, budgets, community statistics, or partnerships.
Is Foundation Draft a new firm?
Yes. There is no list of past awards to show. That is stated here so it is not a surprise.
What happens after this page?
This page is a request to discuss a flat-fee engagement, not a checkout and not a statement of work. If both sides want to go further, a short statement of work — in wording approved before any paid job — would come next. That step is not automatic.
