Sabir O.

I help nonprofits, NGOs, and social enterprises find the right funders, build prioritized grant pipelines, and win funding with proposals tailored to each funder's scoring criteria. Over 14 years in public health, international development, and independent consulting, I have helped secure more than $9 million in grant awards, including a $5.56 million Global Fund award for a national HIV/TB program in Nepal. I will not hand you a long list of random grants; you will receive a prioritized list rigorously screened for eligibility, program fit, award size, and deadline feasibility, so your team focuses only on high-probability prospects.

WHY MY PROPOSALS HOLD UP My edge is operational, not just editorial. Having managed a $2.5M annual HIV/TB portfolio with four concurrent awards and 53 partner organizations, I understand the realities of donor compliance, reporting, and program delivery. My proposals align with donor requirements and what teams can actually deliver and sustain on the ground. WHERE I DO MY BEST WORK ✦ Global and public health: HIV/TB, SRHR, harm reduction, malaria, maternal health, nutrition, diabetes, and community health. ✦ Education and workforce development: K–12, college access, youth programs, and workforce development. ✦ Development and humanitarian response: WASH, climate resilience, gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), human rights, emergency response, and refugee assistance. ✦ Emerging nonprofits: Building grant readiness and a grant program from the ground up. ✦ Enterprise & economic growth: Small business support, micro, small and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) development, social enterprise growth, and inclusive economic development. CORE SERVICES Most clients engage me for end-to-end support, from grant readiness through submission and post-award reporting. I also offer each service as a standalone project. ✦ Grant Readiness and Opportunity Assessment: Eligibility review, document checklist, and application roadmap. ✦ Grant Research and Prospect Lists: Vetted funders with award ranges, deadlines, and fit notes. ✦ Proposal Development: LOIs, concept notes, and full proposals for foundation, government, bilateral, and UN/multilateral donors, including logic models, evaluation plans, and budget narratives. ✦ Donor Landscape Assessment: Donor mapping, funder alignment, opportunity prioritization, and pipeline planning. ✦ Grant Pipeline Management: Trackers in Excel, Google Sheets, or your CRM, with deadline tracking, follow-ups, and status reports. ✦ Organizational Content Library: Reusable organizational descriptions, capability statements, and program narratives. ✦ Post-Award Support: Donor reporting, budget tracking, M&E frameworks, and grant renewal strategy. HOW I RESEARCH I use funder databases, official funder websites, and IRS Form 990 analysis to assess past giving and identify relevant opportunities. AI tools support my research and drafting, but I verify figures and claims against primary sources and approved materials. I never invent outcomes, metrics, or partnerships.
