Charlotte is a member of the Puget Sound Grantwriters Association and ascribes to their Code of Ethics, which prohibits her from working on commission. Moreover, grantmakers frown upon contingency fees, and many will not fund your organization if they find out you pay consultants on this basis.

Instead, Charlotte offers an hourly rate or a monthly retainer option.
