When organizations need funding secured, contracts won, or policy translated into persuasive, decision-ready documents — they call me. I am a grant writer, proposal strategist, and policy writer with four years of experience delivering competitive submissions across the full spectrum of public and private funding. My portfolio spans federal grant applications, government RFP responses, foundation proposals, policy briefs, and program design narratives — serving nonprofits, behavioral health providers, workforce development agencies, affordable housing developers, federal contractors, and international development organizations. The numbers tell the story: 75+ submissions delivered, $2.1M+ in supported awards, and zero disqualified applications across every engagement. That record exists because I treat every submission as a compliance document first and a persuasion document second. I read the solicitation before I write a word. I build a compliance matrix before I write a sentence. And I write every section with the evaluator's scoring criteria in front of me — not behind me. My grant writing covers SAMHSA behavioral health programs, HUD CDBG and HOME housing applications, DOL workforce development grants, USDA rural development funding, DOJ reentry and public safety grants, HRSA community health proposals, and private and corporate foundation LOIs and full proposals. My RFP and proposal writing covers technical volumes, management plans, past performance narratives, and price justifications for federal solicitations across construction, facilities, health services, and professional services. My policy writing produces white papers, legislative summaries, program design frameworks, logic models, and theory of change documents that strengthen funding applications and organizational strategy. I work remotely, move efficiently across multiple concurrent deadlines, and communicate clearly at every stage. I do not disappear after the kickoff call and resurface at the deadline. You hear from me throughout. If you have a solicitation, a funding deadline, or a policy document that needs to be right — send it over. Let's build something worth submitting.

I secure funding and win government contracts for nonprofits, startups, and businesses ready to scale their impact and revenue. Whether you're pursuing competitive grants, responding to complex RFPs, or establishing nonprofit compliance, I transform your capabilities into winning proposals that deliver essential resources and sustainable growth. My Track Record: Over three years, I've secured more than $2.8 million in grant funding and developed proposals for government contracts ranging from $100,000 to $12 million. My clients span energy, healthcare, housing, facility management, public safety, and social services sectors. With 91% Job Success and Top Rated Plus status across 80+ completed projects, I deliver results that matter. What I Do: I craft compelling grant proposals for federal agencies (DOE, NIH, HUD, USDA, SAMHSA), foundations, and corporations. I translate technical innovation and programmatic vision into narratives that align with funder priorities and secure awards. Beyond federal opportunities, I conduct strategic funding research and manage complete application lifecycles from concept through submission. For government contracting, I develop compliance-driven proposals that position you as the contractor of choice. I navigate SAM.gov registration, decode complex RFP/RFQ solicitations, develop technical and management volumes demonstrating capability, create detailed cost proposals, and build comprehensive compliance matrices. My contract experience includes facility management operations worth $11.7 million, digital infrastructure, law enforcement coordination, transportation services, and professional consulting. I also provide complete 501(c)(3) formation services including IRS applications, bylaws development, and state registrations for organizations establishing nonprofit status. What Sets Me Apart: My dual expertise in grant acquisition and government contracting gives you a strategic advantage—I understand how agencies evaluate both programmatic funding and procurement proposals. I bring deep knowledge of federal compliance frameworks including Federal Acquisition Regulation, OMB Uniform Guidance, and agency-specific requirements. This means your proposals meet the technical standards that separate funded projects and awarded contracts from rejected submissions. My Approach: I identify competitive differentiators, anticipate evaluator questions, structure narratives for maximum scoring impact, collaborate to incorporate your expertise, and manage aggressive deadlines without compromising quality. Clients choose me because I deliver proven results, communicate clearly, and understand that behind every application is an organization working to create meaningful change or sustainable growth. Whether you need a grant writer who understands funder priorities, an RFP strategist who can win competitive contracts, or a comprehensive funding consultant who navigates complex opportunities, I bring the technical expertise, strategic insight, and persuasive documentation that transforms organizational capacity into funded programs and awarded contracts.

I am a professional writer and owner of Bridgewater Writing & Grant Services. I have written grant proposals that secured over 45 million dollars in funding to date from both federal and private programs. My most recent funded projects are a 23.5 million dollar DOT grant for a tribal client. and 3.2 million dollars from the Canadian government for a clean energy project. I also recently worked on a Bureau of Justice Affairs grant that was funded at $750,000 and an NSF SBIR funded for over 1 million. I have written proposals for the Department of Education's Strengthening Institutions, USAID, SBIR, USDA, National Science Foundation, Lilly Endowment, National Institute of Health, the Small Business Association's Community Navigator, the Association for Community Living, and the American Academy of Dermatology, in addition to private grants like Chase Bank, Draper, Richards and Kaplan, and Robert, Woods, Johnson's Innovation opportunity. I have also assisted with postdoctoral research grants. I enjoy the grant-writing process and love to help others secure funding for their projects. I am also an editor with over 10 years of experience working with academic texts, a Master's in English, and a PhD in Higher Education Leadership. I have taught English Composition to students from a variety of backgrounds at the college level, and I oversaw writing support at a university, where I trained faculty and students on writing techniques. I have edited dissertations in fields ranging from medical to engineering, and my own dissertation (on multilingual support in higher education) won a research award. I have published book chapters and academic articles, so I am familiar with the expectations of journals and dissertation committees. I am an expert at correcting grammar and punctuation, and I can work with APA, MLA, APSA, Chicago, and Harvard styles. Since I have published or studied in America, England, and South Africa, I can edit in American and British English. I have spent years teaching people to prevent plagiarism, so my grasp of citations and incorporating sources is excellent. I have helped numerous students and professors publish their work, and I would love to help you! In addition to offering regular grant editing/writing services, I also offer customized workshops for individuals and staffs on how to write grants. I'm happy to work with your non-profit team, your department, or your small business on how to identify grants, what to look for in an RFA, and how to write the narratives and assemble the package. Prices for this service vary by staff size and time requested. Contact me for a quote. Please note that I will not write articles or assignments for you, as this is plagiarism, so please do not ask. I also do not use AI for any part of the grant writing process, so your sensitive grant materials will never be used to train AI.
