POLICIES

My policies are based on common courtesy. I dedicate time and energy to our call, and I believe in reciprocity. I also follow these policies.

1. Camera & Attention ON: You must have your camera on and be seated during our call.

2. Rescheduling: If you need to reschedule, you must do so at least 24 hours in advance. In case of emergency, please email casey@mountainwestgrants.com to reschedule. 

3. Cancellation: If you are more than 10 minutes late, your call will be cancelled.

4. Call Purpose: Discovery Sales Calls are for determining fit and discussing potential project scope. They are not a consulting session. To book a paid consulting session, contact casey@mountainwestgrants.com.

If you do not adhere to these policies, I will not schedule a future call with you. Thank you for understanding!

My business week is Monday–Thursday, 8 am–4 pm MST. Email is my preferred communication method. I respond to emails by the end of our next business day. 

Grant writing is COLLABORATIVE! Your organization’s point-person is required to respond in a timely manner to document requests, answers to clarifying questions, proposal draft reviews, and final grant submission. Lack of engagement will delay grant submission. I will clearly communicate deadlines in our monthly grant funding meetings and via email.

Grant submission is ultimately the responsibility of the client (even if I provide all of the materials for you). You will create a nonprofit email address we can share to communicate with funding sources and access submission portals. Once a grant is submitted, I will share all grant proposal documents and funder contact information with you and schedule a reminder to follow up. I use Google Drive to manage grant documents.

 4 weeks of lead time are required to write foundation grants, and 6 weeks required for write state grants. 

If you want to pursue a grant without the appropriate lead time, I may 1) not write it, 2) require an additional charge, or 3) swap out a future grant.

I absoultely will not share your data. Final products belong to your organization.
