Proposals and Grants
You need the right person on your team for the job at hand.
You want a better shot at winning.
Is this you?
You're buried under a tsunami of Requests for Proposals or Requests for Applications.
Responding to them is a huge investment of time and resources.
Every RFP has a million moving parts.
Even with the best systems in place, something won’t go according to plan.
The funding agency may be late in delivering answers to your questions about the RFP.
The resulting answers may require rewriting a certain section of the proposal. But the deadline does not get extended.
Or a key subject matter expert may withdraw from being bid and from writing a critical section of the proposal.
Your in-house staff is drowning. They're tired, and they may not be the right writers for the job at hand.

What My Proposal and Grants Clients Say
“Beth knows her stuff when it comes to proposals. She can transform a rough draft from “mush” to a compelling accurate product that helps us win work.
She does an impressive job pulling the story together and makes sure our winning themes and accomplishments are woven throughout so that we stand apart from the competition.
I absolutely love her ability to drastically cut text, while keeping all the substance. Beth brings institutional knowledge about our company that benefits the proposal development process. We think of her as part of our family.”
“There are only a handful of writers with whom I’ve worked who consistently develop material that is thorough; creative; well-written; and always delivered on time. Beth is one of them. [We] have worked hand-in-hand on dozens of projects. With minimal direction and maximum enthusiasm, she delves into each assignment and delivers an excellent product. Her proposal-writing skills are especially impressive. Grab her if you can.”
