Partnership to Proposal Team Guide | Issue 7 of 8 | PAID
Who is This For
This issue is for anyone who has written a "partnership" proposal essentially alone. You have drafted the sections about your partner. You have sent them text to approve. You have included their letter of support. But the writing itself? That was you.
There's nothing wrong with that approach. It can work. But it leaves something on the table.
When partners contribute their own words--when their perspective genuinely shapes the proposal--reviewers notice. The narrative has an authenticity that single-author proposals can't replicate. And the partners themselves feel differently about a document they helped create.
If you're ready to move from "writing about partners" to "writing with partners," this issue shows you how.
