Grant and RFP Proposal Writing Services for the USA, UK and Europe, Nonprofit and Business Organizations.
I help nonprofits, NGOs, government contractors, startups, and businesses design stronger proposals, respond to competitive RFPs, and build internal writing capacity. Engagements range from full proposal development to rapid reviews, proposal labs, and mentorship for teams under tight deadlines.
I am the practical partner for Nonprofit 501c3 and Business teams in proposal writing for funding and Government Contracting.
My name is Aneel Shahzad. GrantWriter360 is the practice I built to help organizations move from ideas to compliant, well structured submissions. I work with leaders, technical staff, finance teams, and proposal coordinators, across the full proposal cycle, from early scoping through submission and lessons learned.

Proposal services that match how reviewers score, compare, and select proposals for partnership.
Services cover end to end proposal development and targeted support where teams typically lose points, including compliance, evidence, logic, and clarity. Engagements can be structured as one time support for a strategic bid, or as an ongoing partnership across a pipeline of opportunities.

Deliverables are tailored to the opportunity, but commonly include:
A stepwise process that protects time, strengthens quality, and keeps momentum.
Different teams have different capacities and internal review cycles. The process below adapts to your context while keeping structure and accountability across drafting and approvals.
1) Opportunity intake and decision clarity
You share the solicitation or donor call, your draft inputs, and key constraints. We map evaluation criteria, confirm roles, and define what success looks like for this submission.
- Eligibility, scope fit, and scoring priorities
- Inputs list, owners, and deadlines
- Bid strategy, win themes, and evidence plan
2) Architecture and draft production
I build the response structure, then draft and iterate in rounds with your SMEs and leadership. Narrative, budget, and results logic are treated as one package to avoid inconsistencies.
- Outline and page plan, then section drafting
- Tables, annexes, and cross references
- Revision rounds with tracked changes
3) Quality control and submission readiness
Prior to submission, we run a structured review against the evaluation criteria and compliance requirements, then finalize the package for delivery in the required format.
- Compliance verification and gap closure
- Consistency checks across sections and attachments
- Final polish for readability and evaluator logic
4) Lessons learned and repeatable systems
After submission and outcome, we capture what worked, what did not, and what should be standardized so the next proposal starts from a stronger base.
- Debrief notes and improvement actions
- Reusable templates and checklists
- Pipeline planning for upcoming calls
AI tools are used selectively for outlining, consistency checks, and language refinement. Final judgment, contextual accuracy, and compliance decisions remain human led, aligned to your strategy and the solicitation requirements.
Build internal capacity so each submission improves team performance.
Many organizations need immediate support for high value submissions while also strengthening internal proposal capability. Training and mentorship offerings are structured around your real pipeline and current drafts.
