Startup Grant Proposal Writer

I’m preparing to launch a mental-health and substance-abuse recovery venture and I want a seasoned grant writer to secure business-oriented startup funding for it. The focus is strictly on business or startup grants rather than foundation or charity awards, because the goal is to underwrite our opening costs—licensing, initial staff, treatment equipment, and community outreach—so we can begin serving clients as soon as possible.

You’ll handle the full grant-writing cycle: pinpointing the most relevant opportunities for a new recovery business, gathering the program data I already have, filling any information gaps through targeted research, and crafting a persuasive narrative that aligns with funder priorities. Experience navigating Grants.gov, SAM.gov, or similar portals and a solid track record in behavioral-health submissions will help you hit the ground running.

Deliverables I need from you
• At least three vetted startup-grant opportunities that match our mission and timeline
• One polished, submission-ready application (including budget, narrative, and required attachments) for the opportunity we agree is strongest
• A brief guide outlining next steps for any follow-up materials or interviews

The work is complete when I have a file I can upload without edits, plus clear guidance on post-submission requirements. If you’ve successfully won funding for new treatment centers—or other regulated healthcare startups—let’s talk.
