Prices are reasonable, as we have no overhead and are looking for mutually fulfilling, long term partnerships.
We offer fixed fee contracts based on estimated level of effort for our staff. Evaluation contracts generally run about 6% to 8% of the overall grant amount (higher if there is heavy data collection and analysis.) If you are in the proposal writing stage, we can write the evaluation section and develop a logic model free of charge as a joint venture partner.
