GrantWriterTeam Unveils New Business Model

GrantWriterTeam, a leading platform connecting grant writers and grant seekers, is excited to announce its innovative new business model, as seen on Yahoo Finance. The new model is designed to enhance teamwork, accommodation, and efficiency in the grant writing industry. The revamped platform allows grant writers and grant seekers to connect directly and tailor their interactions according to their unique needs, eliminating the constraints of a traditional portal-based approach.

A New Approach Allows for Flexibility and Collaboration

Recognizing the importance of personalized communication and contract design, GrantWriterTeam has shifted away from a one-size-fits-all model. This new model empowers grant writers and grant seekers to work together on their own terms. As the CEO of GrantWriterTeam, Libby Hikind still endorses the “pay as work is completed,” model with deliverables and a small retainer. However, she feels that after 12 years, any grant writer who has previously worked with the company has learned the model enough to follow this framework when appropriate.

GrantWriterTeam will NO longer create contracts OR receive any finder’s fees for work produced. With this new “community advertising” approach, writers and seekers can advertise their own skills and needs and find each other. Previously, GrantWriterTeam was the matchmaker, taking on the role of ‘middleman’. Now, the service has evolved for grant writers and grant seekers, and GrantWriterTeam does not participate in the final transaction. 

How Does It Work for Grant Seekers?

Users pay minimal fees to advertise on the site. Grant seekers can choose from various pricing options. These include $25 for one week, $50 for two weeks, $70 for three weeks, and the best value of $85 for a four-week classified ad posting. Paying this fee allows grant seekers to create an ad requesting a writer. It also allows grant seekers to see all grant writer profiles.

After a grant seeker posts a classified ad, grant writers can view these ads and directly contact grant seekers using the provided contact information. GrantWriterTeam does not charge any finder’s fees or commissions, fostering a direct and transparent connection between grant writers and grant seekers. GrantWriterTeam also includes a wide range of questions that grant seekers can use to assess the skills of grant writers.

How Does It Work for Grant Writers?

Grant writers can choose between $30 per week or $100 per month to publish their grant writer profile. The new model is based on the volume of need for GrantWriterTeam in the grant-seeking community.  Grant writers now have the freedom to create comprehensive profiles. These profiles showcase their experience, expertise, grants awarded, writing samples, resumes, and references. They can upload a professional image and write a brief description for the public.

Certain information can be toggled to private, releasing it only during phone interviews. This feature gives grant writers full control over the information they share. The process of publishing profiles has become instantaneous since GrantWriterTeam embraced the community as the eyes and ears of the platform. Grant writers can edit their profiles at any time after publication, while the profiles remain live.

In rare cases, GrantWriterTeam may decline a profile if an obvious non-professional is attempting to use the service. However, to maintain a Laissez-faire policy model (an economic theory from the 18th century that opposes government intervention in business affairs and translates to “leave alone”), GrantWriterTeam refrains from interfering in the business between grant seekers and grant writers and disclaims any responsibility. They do not endorse or guarantee the quality or reliability of listed grant writers or grant seekers. Grant writers pay a fee to list their profile, and grant seekers pay a fee to publish a classified ad. The new model places the responsibility on consumers to verify the credentials of grant writers and grant seekers.

“We realized that there is no cookie-cutter approach for communication and contract design in the grant writing industry,” said Libby Hikind, founder and CEO of GrantWriterTeam. “Our new business model puts the power back in the hands of grant writers and grant seekers, allowing them to connect, negotiate, and collaborate in a way that suits their unique needs. GrantWriterTeam serves as the platform that facilitates these connections, providing a comprehensive toolset while staying out of the actual negotiations and taking no responsibility for the outcome.”

Share Your Success

GrantWriterTeam wishes both parties the best of luck. When a grant is won, grant writers can share the notice of the award with GrantWriterTeam. The staff will then list the accomplishment on the Success page for others to see. Furthermore, GrantWatch has a ‘Grant Writers’ button next to each grant listed. This allows grant seekers to easily start a classified advertisement for a grant writer on GrantWriterTeam.

GrantWatch always applauds grant seekers who win a grant that they found on GrantWatch. Whether the grant was written in-house by the organization or with a grant writer, the grant-seeker will be recognized. They will get a 17-ounce coffee mug and the opportunity to participate in an interview for TV or for ‘On-The-Road with GrantWatch’.

GrantWriterTeam emphasizes that both parties are responsible for thoroughly researching and verifying each other’s credentials before entering into a contract. The platform provides ample fields and information to assist in this verification process. This enables grant writers and grant seekers to make informed decisions about their collaborations.

GrantWriterTeam is excited about the opportunities its new business model presents for the grant writing community. By fostering direct communication, flexibility, and customization, GrantWriterTeam aims to facilitate successful partnerships. These partnerships will contribute to the overall growth and success of grant writers and grant seekers alike.
