Partnership to Proposal Team Guide | Issue 5 of 8 | PAID
Who's This For
You're deep into proposal season. The project description is coming together. The budget is taking shape. Now you need letters of support from your partners.
You have done this before. You draft a template. You send it to partners with a note: "Feel free to modify as needed." They sign it mostly unchanged. The letter goes into the proposal. Reviewers see a generic statement of enthusiasm. The letter adds nothing to your competitive position.
This issue is for anyone who wants letters that actually demonstrate partnership. Not polite endorsements. Not pro forma signatures. Letters that show reviewers your partners understand the project, have shaped its design, and are genuinely committed to making it work.
