How does OpenGrants work? What to expect when using OpenGrants
What is OpenGrants Pro?For those who want more powerful search tools, we offer a Pro plan for $29 per month. This lets you save grants to your profile, take notes, use power search filters, save your searches, and export the results to CSV. We’re also developing a powerful A.I. engine that will automatically match you to relevant grants.
How does hiring grant writers work?
-
View the grant writer's profile in the Talent Finder and send them a message with your needs. This could include research, guidance, writing, editing, etc.
-
They send you a proposal based on your needs.
-
You accept the proposal and enter your billing information.
-
Once the proposal is accepted, the grant writer can start work. You should keep open lines of communication along the way.
-
They will log their hours, description of work, and attach documentation.
-
OpenGrants will automatically compile their hours and records into one weekly invoice for you.
-
Invoices are created on Saturdays. You have until the following Thursday to review before being charged for that week's work.
-
Continue the project indefinitely, or pause/end it at any time.
