    Position Recommendation

    The Planning Council Grant Review Process Ad Hoc Committee recommends hiring a full-time grant writer to identify potential grant sources, disseminate grant information to staff, assist staff with grant writing and write grants. Costs of the new position could be covered by fees normally paid to grant writing consultants. We normally pay 10% of the cost of a grant. For instance, our three Title V grants total $1.3 million per year, which means we are paying the grant writers $130,000 per year.
