Contract Development
Client representatives and WG staff work collaborative to develop specific, detailed Scope of Work Statements for each project design and grants task in a project contract. Additional work products or extensions of the initial Scope of Work can be added through subsequent contracts. Client organizations own their grant applications and related documents and may reuse or share these documents. However, they agree to credit Winning Grants for these documents.

When formal or informal collaboratives work together locally, regionally and/or statewide, they can increase the impact of their resources and improve their grants’ competitiveness. Usually one 501(c)3 nonprofit member serves as the fiscal agent for an informal collaborative.
