The importance of careful 501(c)(3) application and what it means.

Standards

Zelenz Consulting complies with the ethical standards set forth by the Grant Professionals Association and other regulatory associations or entities. Therefore we will not accept a percentage of a funding award as compensation for grant writing, grant management, donor solicitations, or fundraising campaign efforts. Payment for services must be paid in advance.

Foundations expect you to be financially strong to qualify for grant funding. They expect you to have additional resources. This is why we do not take payment after you receive grant funding applied for. You will not succeed in your grant requests if you are financially unable to pay a fee now. It demonstrates a need for additional fundraising effort in your community and through private donors before you will qualify for grant funding.
