How do you hire a grant consultant, and what's the typical working arrangement? Grant consultants, or any grant professional as is LAC, are hopefully bound by a code of ethics found on the Grant Professionals Association (GPA), the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), and the local grants collaborative websites or via LAC by request. Part of this code includes assurance that grant writers will not work on commission. LAC has an hourly rate. A contract outlines the overall expectations between LAC and her clients; a more detailed addenda is attached to specify the scope of each project. LAC is a registered professional fundraiser within her state of residence and as required by all jurisdictions.
