Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
Additional details

We are in need of a sharp, detail-oriented individual who could help us copy-edit a 20-page grant proposal. We prefer that our copy-editor be a woman of color.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a first draft of the proposal and will soon have a second draft to share. To ensure consistency in our language and style, we can provide you with grant proposals we have submitted in the past.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to invest more time into the analytical components of the proposal, including our alignment strategy with partners.

We are one of ten finalists for Equality Can't Wait, a $10 million grant being offered by Pivotal Ventures. The grant would allow us to advance women's power and influence -- namely by transforming the way in which Americans think about care and by reimagining the equitable care infrastructure that women and families of all kinds need and deserve. The proposal is due on May 21st.

Copyediting Project

The team at Caring Across Generations is doing hard and necessary work in public policy and advocacy on behalf of care givers, especially women of color. I was honored to work on this historic project. The team was very responsive and I was impressed with how well they collaborated on their grant proposal. I look forward to hearing about their continued success!
