Getting Grants-Some Facts

Number of Funded Grants: Among respondents who identified themselves as grantwriters, the majority (two-thirds) reported receiving six to ten Federal grants, eleven to twenty local or state grants, and 51 or more foundation grants. This trend supports the observation that Federal grants tend to be larger and more complex, thus more time consuming and representing less of the work product of grantwriters. On the other end of that spectrum are the smaller, simpler foundation proposals with higher numbers received.
