I am an expert Grant/proposal writer with hands-on experience in the non-profit and international development sector. I will assist you in converting your big idea into big achievement! I have spent 14 years in mastering the art of communicating complex business proposals in an accessible written form. I create compelling and engaging narratives that speak to the requirements of the grant in question; capturing the imagination of the grant assessors to secure the fund. All it takes from me is couple of hours of active listening and engaging deep dive into the context to gain a quick understanding of your vision and motivations and I start creating concise and catchy application narratives in your company's voice. I have a proven track record of writing successful grant applications for CSOs, NGOs and SMEs. I work with clients to directly respond to RFPs / EOIs / RFIs and have experience of working with UK, EU and US donors as well as those in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. I have worked closely with donors from DFID, the EU, USAID, ECHO, CIDA, ADB and many more by working on global projects, as well as fieldwork in Asia and Africa. I have a strong technical background in human rights, education, TVET sector, value chain and market systems development with specialist expertise in third would economic development programs. During last 12 years, I have led on grant writing and project management across varied technical areas such as institutional development, health, education, innovation, women’s economic empowerment and rural livelihoods, environmental protection, climate change mitigation, disaster response and conflict sensitive management. My clients include SMEs, social enterprises, non-profits and start-ups. I help organizations market their concept to funders by translating 'donor speak', refining / developing project ideas, and by writing high-quality grant applications. This applies to a range of funding modalities including: - traditional grants, (full proposal / concept note / pitch deck); - match funding; - social impact investment; - equity investment; - challenge funds; - innovation funds; and, - pilot / accelerator funding. Moreover, as a certified leadership development manager from Management Sciences for Health (MSH) I am able to effectively pick up projects, collaborate with in-house teams and take work packages forward. 

looking forward to hear from you,
