Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 26, 2026

Plain English: I only collect what I need to check your eligibility and write your grant application. I never sell your information, and I never share it with anyone without your permission. You can ask me to delete it at any time.

Who I am

GrantWrite is the practice of Valerii Cheipesh ("I," "me") prepares grant applications for small towns and rural communities. You can reach me any time at grants@smalltowngrants.com. This policy explains what information I handle and how.

What I collect

I only collect information you choose to give me:

Eligibility check: when you use the form on this site, I collect your state, community population, project type, an income range, and your email address.
Email correspondence: the messages you send me and the email address you write from.
Application materials: if you decide to work with me, the project details and community information needed to write your application — much of which is already public record.

I do not ask for Social Security numbers, bank or payment-card numbers, or other sensitive personal data through this website.

How I use it

To tell you whether your community appears eligible for a program;
To prepare your grant application and communicate with you about it;
To respond to your questions.

That is all. I do not use your information for advertising.

I never sell, rent, or trade your information. I do not share it with third parties — with one exception: the completed application is shared only with you, and it is your city that submits it to the funding agency. Nothing leaves me for the agency without your review and approval.

How I protect and keep it

I store information only as long as needed to do the work and keep reasonable records, and I protect it with standard security practices. This website keeps basic server logs (such as the IP address of visitors) for security and reliability — this is normal for any website and is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking. I am not in the business of following you around the internet.

Your choices

You are always in control of your information. Just email me at grants@smalltowngrants.com and I will:

tell you what information I hold about you,
correct anything that is wrong, or
delete it.

Children

My services are for local governments and organizations, not for children, and I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes to this policy

If I update this policy, I will change the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be made clear.
