Does From Concepts To Reality, Inc. ever work on a “contingency” basis, e.g., taking a percentage of approved grants instead of fixed retainer?
No. From Concepts To Reality, Inc. subscribes to the ethical policies governing fees as set forth by the National Association of Fund Raising Executives (NSFRE) and the American Association of Fund Raising Counsel (AAFRC). These policies prohibit the rendering of fund raising services on any form “contingency” or “percentage” basis. Instead, From Concepts to Reality, Inc. , utilizes a flat “retainer fee” based upon the amount of work to be performed. For grants development, retainer fees cover three-month intervals. Annual giving retainer fees are established on an annual basis.
