I help nonprofits, small businesses, and government contractors win funding and secure contracts — through proposals that are built to score, not just to submit. Most grant writers hand you a polished document. I build you a winning strategy. Every proposal I write is engineered around the funder's evaluation criteria, scoring rubrics, and priorities — not a recycled template with your name dropped in. ──────────────────────────── WHAT I DELIVER ──────────────────────────── ✅ Federal & Foundation Grant Proposals End-to-end grant writing for federal agencies (grants.gov, SAM.gov), state programs, and private/corporate foundations. Deliverables include needs assessments, program narratives, logic models, evaluation plans, budget justifications, and full compliance documentation. ✅ Government RFP & RFQ Responses Competitive bid writing for federal, state, and local government contracts — structured using the Shipley Method to directly address evaluation criteria, demonstrate past performance, and differentiate your offer from competitors. ✅ Investor & Lender-Ready Business Plans Comprehensive business plans for SBA loans, CDFI funding, angel investors, startup accelerators, and visa applications (E-2, L-1, EB-5). Covers executive summary, market analysis, operations narrative, management team, and full financial projections. ✅ Capability Statements & Company Profiles GSA-ready capability statements built to open doors with federal contracting officers and prime contractors — formatted correctly, keyword-rich, and aligned to your NAICS codes and core competencies. ✅ Financial Projections & Feasibility Studies 3–5 year financial models with revenue build-up, expense forecasting, scenario analysis (best/base/worst case), and market-supported assumptions that withstand investor and funder scrutiny. ✅ Grant Research & Funding Strategy Identification of the right funding opportunities for your organization — federal, state, foundation, and corporate — with a prioritized pipeline and fit assessment before a single word is written. ──────────────────────────── INDUSTRIES I SERVE ──────────────────────────── - Nonprofits & 501(c)3 Organizations - STEM, AI & Workforce Development - Healthcare & Community Health - Construction & Infrastructure - IT & Technology Services - Financial Services - Transportation & Logistics - Social Services & Human Services - Engineering & Environmental Services - Education & Training Organizations ──────────────────────────── HOW I WORK DIFFERENTLY ──────────────────────────── Most freelance grant writers are good at writing.I am trained in how funders and evaluators make decisions — and I build every document backward from that perspective. Here is what that looks like in practice: ✔ I read the full RFP or NOFA before writing a single word —mapping every requirement to a response section ✔ I use the Shipley Method, the gold standard in proposal strategy used by top government contractors worldwide ✔ I conduct a competitor/landscape analysis before positioning your proposal — so your differentiators are real, not generic ✔ I write to scoring rubrics when available, and to implied criteria when they are not ✔ I flag compliance gaps early — missing requirements are the #1 reason strong proposals get disqualified before scoring ✔ I treat your submission deadline as a hard wall — not a suggestion ──────────────────────────── GRANT TYPES I COVER ──────────────────────────── Federal: NIH, NSF, HRSA, HUD, DOL, DOE, USDA, SBA, DOJ, CDC, SAMHSA, AmeriCorps, NEA State: Ohio, Texas, California, New York, Florida (and others — ask about your state) Private: Gates Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson, Kresge, Annie E. Casey, local community foundations, corporate giving programs SBIR/STTR, Community Development, Workforce Development, Housing & Infrastructure, Education & Training ──────────────────────────── WHAT CLIENTS SAY ──────────────────────────── ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Mr. Onu was very professional. His work was top quality." — Grant Writer for 501(c)3, STEM & AI Training Organization ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great experience — would hire him again." — Grant Writer for 501(c)3, STEM & AI Training Organization ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Showed strong understanding of the project and met the agreed timeline." — Nonprofit Grant Submission Client ──────────────────────────── Ready to stop submitting proposals and start winning them? Send me a message and let's build your path to funded.

I help mission-driven organizations secure funding, clarify ideas, and tell stories people actually want to read. I’m a writer, educator, and narrative strategist with clients ranging from startups and small businesses to nonprofits and educational organizations. I specialize in grant writing, proposals, pitch decks, curriculum development, and long-form narrative content—work that sits at the intersection of strategy, clarity, and voice. I’ve helped client organizations secure $425,000+ in grant funding, developed curricular resources used in real classrooms, and written scripts and storyworlds for educational media, adventure games, and augmented reality experiences. I’m comfortable owning projects from messy idea to polished deliverable—and I work well independently, under deadline, and across time zones. Alongside freelance work, I teach writing and social studies to kids and incarcerated adults. That classroom experience informs everything I do: clear structure, audience awareness, and an understanding that good writing has to work, not just sound good. My recent projects have ranged from grant proposals and funding narratives to pitch decks, email campaigns, game scripts, and web copy. Topics have included education, mental health, climate justice, housing, beauty and wellness, travel, and the arts. Selected bylines and credits include: Playboy, KQED Teach, Teachers & Writers Magazine, ARDI Adventure Games, DX Games, and Cozy Ripples (TV criticism). My fiction has appeared in Conjunctions, Colorado Review, Prime Number Magazine, and other journals. My short story collection, Impossible Object, is forthcoming from Whiskey Tit Press. Core services: • Grant, proposal, and fellowship applications • Business plans, pitch decks, and pitch form content • Curriculum development & educational writing • Scripts, game narratives & story development • Web copy, blogs, email & social media campaigns • Infographics & explainer content If you need a writer who can think strategically, work across formats, and respect both your mission and your deadline, I’m happy to talk.

WHAT IF SECURING A GRANT DID'NT HAVE TO FEEL LIKE CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN ALONE? Most nonprofits and profit organizations leave thousands , sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table every year. Not because they lack a great mission. But because they lack the right strategy, the right words, and the right person in their corner. That's where I come in. I'm Hussainat and I'm not your average grant writer. I'm a Grant Strategist and Funding Agent who doesn't just write proposals. I research, position, and craft applications that make funders stop, read, and say yes. Here's my promise to you: I will have sleepless nights and productive days until your funding goals become your funding reality. **What makes me different?** While most grant writers hand you a generic proposal and wish you luck — I go deeper. Before writing a single word, I study your organization inside out, research your target funders, analyze their giving history, and build a strategy that aligns your mission with exactly what the funder is looking for. The result? Proposals that don't just get submitted — they get funded. **Here's what I handle for you:** ✅ Grant Research & Prospect Lists tailored to your mission and eligibility ✅ Full Grant Proposals, Applications & Letters of Intent (LOIs) ✅ Capital, Capacity-Building & General Operating Grants ✅ RFPs, RFQs & SBIR Proposals ✅ Business Plans, Budget Proposals & Executive Summaries ✅ Grant Objectives, Methodology & Measurable Outcomes ✅ Evaluation Plans aligned with funder reporting requirements ✅ Fundraising Strategy, Sponsorship & Crowdfunding Support **Who I work with:** 🔹 Nonprofits & NGOs 🔹 Small & Minority-Owned Businesses 🔹 Startups & Social Enterprises 🔹 Community & Faith-Based Organizations **My background gives me a unique edge.** With a foundation in Public Health, I understand community needs assessment, measurable impact, and evidence-based communication — the exact language funders speak. I don't just write well. I write strategically. Your time is too valuable to spend wrestling with complex applications, chasing deadlines, and second-guessing your narrative. While you focus on running your organization and serving your community, I focus on one thing: **Getting you funded.** I don't just submit applications. I position you to win. 📩 Ready to pursue funding with strategy, confidence, and precision? Send me a message , let's build your funding future together.

WHAT IF WINNING GRANTS DIDN'T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE NAVIGATING A MOUNTAIN PATH BY YOURSELF? Securing grants isn't simply about filling out applications or writing persuasive proposals. Successful funding starts with positioning your organization in a way that aligns with what funders are actively looking to support. That's where I come in. I'm Rasheedat, a Grant Strategist and Funding Specialist dedicated to helping nonprofits, startups, social enterprises, and growing businesses compete confidently for funding opportunities. My work goes far beyond writing. Before a proposal is ever drafted, I take time to understand your mission, your goals, your impact, and your eligibility. From there, I identify the right funding opportunities, analyze funder priorities, and develop a strategy designed to strengthen your chances of success. Because the strongest grant applications aren't written for everyone. They're written for the right funder. ## How I Support Organizations ✔ Strategic Grant Research and Prospect Identification ✔ Grant Proposals and Full Application Development ✔ Letters of Intent (LOIs) and Concept Notes ✔ RFP, RFQ, and SBIR Proposal Writing ✔ Business Plans and Executive Summaries ✔ Budget Narratives and Financial Justifications ✔ Program Design, Objectives, and Measurable Outcomes ✔ Evaluation Frameworks and Reporting Plans ✔ Fundraising, Sponsorship, and Crowdfunding Strategies ## Who I Work With • Nonprofits and NGOs • Small and Minority-Owned Businesses • Startups and Social Enterprises • Community-Based Organizations • Faith-Based Organizations ## Why Clients Choose to Work With Me My background in Fine Art has given me an advantage that many grant writers don't possess: the ability to tell compelling stories that connect with people and inspire action. Funders don't invest solely in ideas. They invest in vision, impact, sustainability, and the ability to communicate those elements clearly and convincingly. I help organizations do exactly that. ## My Goal Is Simple While you focus on serving your community, growing your organization, and leading your mission, I focus on helping you secure the resources needed to move that mission forward. Not just by submitting applications. But by positioning your organization strategically for funding opportunities that fit. If you're ready to approach funding with clarity, strategy, and confidence, I'd be happy to help. 📩 Send me a message and let's discuss your goals and the opportunities available to you.

Expert Vetted - Top 1% Upwork freelancer with deep experience delivering high quality, on-time work. I help organizations win funding and government contracts. With 20+ years of experience across the nonprofit, corporate, and government sectors, I bring something most grant writers can't: I've sat on both sides of the table. I've written winning proposals and written the RFPs, reviewed submissions, selected vendors, and managed the contracts that followed. What I bring to each sector: For nonprofits, I provide full-cycle grant services — funder prospecting, proposal writing, grant management, compliance reporting, and funder relations. My experience spans federal, state, foundation, and corporate funding sources. One client I've supported since 2023 has more than doubled their annual operating budget, from $639K to over $1.4M, through a sustained grant strategy. Recent wins for another client include a $1.8M Economic Development Administration (EDA) award. For organizations pursuing government contracts, I understand procurement from the inside. I've contributed to more than $100M in awarded contracts across health IT, health and human services, and cybersecurity — leading proposal development, oral presentations, and contract negotiations for complex, competitive bids. For government agencies, I've managed federal and state grant funding end-to-end: applications, awards, compliance reporting, drawdowns, and sub-grantee oversight. I know what reviewers look for because I've been one. I hold a Master of Public Health from the University of Minnesota, which grounds my work in health and human services — one of the most competitive funding areas in the country. If you need a writer who treats your proposal like the high-stakes deliverable it is, let's talk.

Every manuscript carries something its author has never said out loud: the fear that someone will read it and not understand what it was trying to be. That fear is exactly what I edit around. With experience across developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading, I work with fiction and nonfiction authors across romance, memoir, spiritual nonfiction, health and wellness, and business writing. My job is not to rewrite your book. It is to find the version that was always there and make sure every sentence is earning its place. What my clients say most is that their writing still sounds like them, only clearer, tighter, and stronger than they knew it could be. If that is what you are looking for, I would love to hear about your manuscript. MY EDITORIAL & PUBLISHING SERVICES: 📝 Developmental Editing 📚 Content Editing ✒️ Line Editing 📖 Copy Editing 📋 Proofreading 📖 Beta Reader & Content Editor Insight Let’s Talk About Your Book; Tell me: - What genre is your book, and who is your target reader? - Have you had any editing done before? - What's your timeline? You’ll receive a clear, honest recommendation within 2-3 hours on the best path forward. Every project I take on ends the same way: a manuscript the author is proud of and a client who knows exactly what was done and why. Send me a message and lets us talk about what your book needs.
