Ramona Munsell & Associates will gladly teach your college or university how to circumvent the "funds cannot be used to reimburse grant writing activities" clause found in most RFPs. This little accounting trick (fraud) will drain your indirect cost accounts and put THOUSANDS of dollars in the RMA accounts.
In return for your school's money, RMA will copy and paste pieces of old grants into a "custom" proposal just for you. And within that proposal RMA will assign an "external evaluator" to evaluate the program they've written. But wait! The evaluator is an RMA writer! That keeps things nice and tidy and keeps the checks coming to RMA every year throughout your award.
Instead, I recommend giving "pay grant writer with grant funds" a little Google. See how many times you find the word "unethical" to describe the practice. If you need to hire a grant writer, pay a flat fee upfront.

This report was the biggest load of steaming crap I've read in a while. It's obvious the poster comes from a culture of entitlement where everything is given to them and they are upset when it is not. A Title III grant would probably not be in their best interest anyway if this is how they feel. The grant actually requires that you do "actual work" and report it back to the government.
Ramona Munsell is the best in the business and everyone knows it. If you do not want to utilize her expertise you are welcome to write the grant on your own. Good luck!
Don't count on Ramona coming on here and paying the extortion fee to retort either. She is a professional and does not resort to anonymous attacks.

We did write our own grant. It was funded. We were able to hire 3 full-time staff for less than what it would have cost to utilize the "services" of RMA. After much discussion and research we conclude RMA uses fraudulent business practices. The Department of Education investigation will no doubt substantiate the claims above.
