Third Sector Associates adheres to the Code of Ethical Principles and Standards of Professional Practice as set forth by the Grant Professionals Association (GPA). These codes govern compensation and provide a code of conduct for grant writing professionals. This being the case, Third Sector Associates does not work on a commission or contingency basis since grant preparation fees cannot be paid from most grant sources.
