Grant writers are employed by many types of organizations. Although they are usually employed, or work as independent contractors for non-profit organizations, you’ll find a demand for these services in many industries.
Groups seeking funding vary from youth organizations, churches, community programs, as well as, universities, government agencies, businesses and corporations.
Their main function is to successfully secure funding for the employing entity. This is done through grant research (including planning and recommendations) and the writing of grant proposals.
The competition is building as more people move into the field, but demand is still high and salaries vary according to experience. Grants writers may be paid per hour or project, or their positions may be commissioned based.
As of October 2011, a salary survey conducted by Salary.com indicated that the median annual salary for grant writers was $56,760.
