Persuasive Grant Proposals
A grant writer specializes in seeing a problem, and then writing a proposal document to persuade people with money to use it to solve that problem. And, you'll find that with more than $500 billion available in grants each year, matching organizations that need money to funders who are giving away money is both profitable and fun.
With so many funds available each year, there is a huge demand for skilled grant writers who know how to write clearly, concisely, and persuasively.
