Introduction
As a seasoned professional with over decades of experience, I am a highly successful and much-liked grant writer dedicated to securing funding for small businesses and non-profit organizations. My expertise lies in grant research and writing, and small business loans to meet diverse funding needs. I specialize in positioning businesses to maximize their success in obtaining essential funding, providing comprehensive support from application to approval. Leveraging advanced AI tools, I streamline the process by building and forecasting detailed plans and growth models that align with funders’ requirements. In addition to grant writing, I am Harvard-trained and have decades of consultancy experience with globally recognized corporate brands, including Amazon, Walmart, Bank of America, Apple, Microsoft, and more. This broad foundation enables me to craft strategic and marketing business plans, conduct growth analyses, and deliver innovative, results-driven solutions. I am committed to helping clients secure the resources they need to thrive, turning their vision into reality with speed and precision.

I hired Mark over a month ago and subsequently hired his partner to develop my website. After paying the website developer in full, she did not accept my instructions and needs. She then abruptly returned my funds...However, I did receive the questionnaire from Mark and I am waiting for the work to begin. Subsequently spoke with Mark and I have every confidence that the work surrounding writing a business plan and ultimately to apply for grants effectively will get resolved as planned.

Mark was unbelievable and has an amazing work ethic. He worked tirelessly to help me with an assignment I had no idea how to do. He went above and beyond and was professional, responsive and put together a high quality written assignment. Very personable and easy to work with. I highly recommend Mark to anyone out there in need of help with writing or analyzing any type of grant writing. He goes above and beyond for the customer.

Working with Mark was an excellent experience. When I reached out to Mark, I was so frustrated with the creating a business plan. Mark did a fantastic job in guiding me through the process with sound business consulting advice and creating an excellent business plan for my nonprofit organization, Troves Orphans Academy. I look forward to work with Mark again and I highly recommend him for your business services.

Mark is an amazing writer and provides high-quality text for complex grant proposals. I gave him an outline, some quantitative data, and a few ideas. He took that and gave me an excellent, easy-to-read project narrative. He’s very communicative and I am so glad I found him! Thanks Mark!
