Prices for grant management capability assessments have been kept at far lower levels than those incurred internally by funders or charged by external audit firms. Our typical prices equate to 1-2 hours of salary cost for a UN staff member in the field.
The following grantors have agreed to fund GFGP assessments and to use these assessments as a central part of their due diligence when allocating grants: USAID, Wellcome, UKRI and DoHSC. Most grant-providing organizations will cover the cost of GFGP Certification Readiness Assessment Assessments, so it is always worth asking during a grant application.
For as little as $250 per assessment, funders can invite and pay for grantees to carry out a GFGP Certification Readiness Assessment to demonstrate their ability to comply with one of the four tiers of the new global Standard, as part of their pre-award due diligence. Assessment costs for each tier are $250 for bronze level, $500 for silver, $750 for gold and $1,000 for assessment to platinum tier.
Costs for funders to view an existing assessment report have been capped at $500 for all tiers and can be as low as $100 per report depending on the number of assessments requested.
