Who Hires Grant Writers?
Grant funds are vital to non-profits, which need them for daily operations and programs that advance their mission. Grants are also a boost for small businesses, particularly for start-ups or expansions. Researchers and artists depend on grants to further their work and professional development. Grant funds are equally important to universities, museums and even to foundations that make grants. And all of them need someone to write these grants, whether it's someone on staff, or a grants consultant hired on a freelance, independent contract basis.
