Writing a grant proposal as a consultant is very much a collaborative effort, with the CLIENT supplying mission statements, objectives, strategic direction, evaluation methodology, etc. No grantwriting consultant can write a compelling and truthful proposal without working closely with the nonprofit. A consultant can have no ego about their compositions. The nonprofit is accountable to the grantmaker for the content of a proposal submitted in their name. What you initially wrote may have been more 'fundable', but the client's revisions may have made the proposal more truthful. Independent grantwriting consultants usually send multiple drafts back and forth with their clients during the development of a proposal. No single person can claim 'ownership' of a proposal composed for a client. You need their input. If you are a grantwriter, then you have unlimited "words" in your quiver. Even if the mission of your new initiative is similar to your clients, create new text for your own proposals. As a grantwriter, you know there are many many ways to say the same thing, especially for you!
