The two messages outlining grant writing on commission have been very clear and helpful. I have a separate funding question. I am currently seeking funds to complete a traveling exhibition project. Since I am an independent consultant, with ties to the Union Institute's Center for Women, the Union Institute will serve as the non-profit fiscal sponsor. I was just informed that the Institute requires a 12% overhead on all grants. I know that many funders do not fund overhead. How should I write this into the grant request? Should I call it accounting or fiscal management or some such thing? Thanks for your comments. Lisa Falk [log in to unmask]
