If you need a grant writer who consistently delivers results, you’re in the right place. I have secured over **$4.5M+ in funding** across federal, state, foundation, and private programs for nonprofits, tribal nations, startups, small businesses, and academic institutions.
My work is driven by one goal: turning complex funding opportunities into funded awards.
Recent successful funding results:
✔ $2.35M U.S. DOT grant for a tribal transportation project
✔ $320K Canadian government funding for a clean energy initiative
✔ $1M+ NSF SBIR/STTR innovation award
✔ $750K Bureau of Justice Assistance grant
I have developed and submitted winning proposals through **Grants.gov, SAM.gov, and direct funder portals**, securing funding from agencies such as **USAID, NIH, NSF, USDA, DOE, DOT**, and leading private foundations and corporate funders.
What I do:
— Federal, state, and foundation grant writing
— Grant research and funding opportunity identification
— Investor-ready business plans and pitch decks
— Budget narratives and financial justifications
— Letters of intent, inquiry, and support development
— Full application submission support (Grants.gov, SAM.gov, and portals)
— Proposal editing, compliance review, and resubmission strategy
— Grant reporting and post-award support
My approach:
I combine deep funding research, compliance precision, and strategic storytelling. Every proposal is tailored to the funder’s priorities, evaluation criteria, and scoring structure. I don’t rely on templates, I build each application to directly match what reviewers are looking for.
What sets me apart:
What separates my work is not just writing ability, it’s funding strategy, positioning, and execution under strict grant guidelines. I understand how reviewers think, how applications are scored, and how to position organizations to be competitive in high-value funding environments.
I bring:
* Proven success in competitive grant environments
* Strong knowledge of federal compliance and evaluation systems
* Cross-sector experience (energy, health, education, climate, innovation, justice, and more)
* Academic-level research and writing expertise
* End-to-end support from opportunity discovery to post-award reporting
I am published academically and have taught grant and academic writing at the university level for over a decade.
Commitment:
Every proposal I deliver is original, confidential, research-driven, and aligned to funder requirements. I am punctual, detail-oriented, and fully committed to helping you win funding—not just submit applications.
Let’s build your next winning proposal. Message me to get started.

"Paolo wrote us an email campaign to drive traffic to our newly-launched weight loss supplement, and the results in our sales were outstanding!"
"An amazing email copywriter, his emails were clear and concise with a specific goal in mind - increase our sales. And Paolo did a wonderful job."
"Thank you for helping us increase our free trial conversion rates, its really helped the sales team close more deals."
If you're looking for someone who can write high-converting emails that not only drive traffic to your sales pages but also build your brand in the process.... I'm your guy. Why?
Because unlike 99% of email copywriters I've had experience working in direct marketing agencies that only pay on royalties and commission.
In other words, I either convert or I go broke... and I ain't broke.
One of my proudest moments was when I wrote an email campaign for a Fortune 50 SaaS Company that increased our sales teams trial conversion metric from 50% to over 206%, resulting in more closed deals.
I've also received my training directly from the best in the business. I've been mentored by the same guys who are responsible for Tai Lopez, Grant Cardone and Agora Financial's success.

💰 Extensive In-Person Sales Experience - In the end email, in order to drive sales, your emails have to connect with people.
Many copywriters have never experienced what it's like to SELL or use persuasion in 1-on-1 real life settings.
I have experience in Door-to-Door sales, In-store Energy Sales and Telesales... just to name a few.
And that ability to connect with people translated into my skill as an email copywriter.

I’m Mark, a Bid & Proposal Specialist with 20+ years of experience managing RFP lifecycles across municipal, state, local, education (SLED), and commercial markets. My work has contributed to $92M+ in awarded government contracts at Ford Motor Company and $34M in booked revenue year-to-date at Hach — plus prior bid/pricing experience with Panasonic, Sharp, and Konica Minolta.
I help business owners turn bidding into a repeatable sales channel — without wasting time, money, or chasing poorly matched RFPs.
What I Do
• Identify well-fit RFPs for municipal, SLED, and commercial buyers
• Manage full-cycle proposal development — from bid/no-bid evaluation through submission
• Recommend and optimize paid bid sourcing platforms (GovWin, BidNet, SAM.gov, DemandStar, Bonfire) and have led platform evaluations (e.g., Responsive vs. Loopio) adopted at the leadership level
• Administer GSA contracts, including pricing updates and compliance
• Perform daily bid monitoring and alert you when viable opportunities appear
• Provide RFP compliance reviews, competitive pricing strategy, and margin analysis
• Deliver clear Go/No-Go guidance so you only pursue bids worth winning
• Use AI tools (Copilot 365, Claude, ChatGPT) to speed up research and drafting without sacrificing accuracy
How It Works
• Free phone consultation to understand your business and goals
• One-time setup to select the best bid sourcing platform for your needs (billed hourly)
• Daily monitoring (minimum 2 hours/week, scalable with bid volume)
• Ongoing support for bid reviews, proposal responses, and pricing strategy
Why Clients Hire Me
✔ 20+ years of hands-on municipal & SLED RFP experience, with enterprise-scale results (Ford, Hach, Panasonic, Sharp)
✔ Proven ability to manage high-volume, high-value bid pipelines with accuracy and compliance
✔ GSA contract administration and platform strategy experience most bid specialists don’t have
✔ Saves time, reduces subscription costs, and improves win-rate
✔ Practical, business-first approach — not “bid everything”
If you’re serious about using municipal and SLED bidding as a repeatable sales channel, let’s start with a free consultation.
