Proposals, cases and narratives that unlock funding and get people to yes

Great projects stall when the story doesn’t land. I work at the intersection of government, business, NGOs, and investors to shape proposals, pitches, and cases that unlock funding, secure approvals, and build the trust needed to get to “yes.”

Whether you’re a developer, agency, community organisation, or investor, I take what you already do well and frame it in a way that speaks to decision-makers — connecting your goals to theirs and clearing the path for delivery.

No waffle. No word salad. Just sharp positioning, strong framing, and clear, confident delivery that bridges worlds and moves projects forward.

What I deliver

  • Tender responses – local, state, and federal procurement

  • Panel applications – e.g. SCM1191, LGP, Buy.NSW

  • Grant submissions – disaster recovery, infrastructure, social impact, and more

  • New Policy Proposals (NPPs) – and business case development

  • Capital and funding pitches – philanthropic, private, or blended models

  • Business development strategies – positioning, pipelines, and partnerships

For private sector

You know how to deliver. I know how to get government, investors, and partners to back you. From writing winning panel applications to mapping tender pipelines and securing long-term partnerships, I help you position your offer where the money and approvals are.

For government

You know the value of your work, I make it fundable, defensible, and aligned with Ministerial, Treasury, and political priorities. From capital submissions to cross-agency NPPs and high-stakes grants, I know what good looks like and how to get there fast.

For NGOs

Your mission is clear and now you need the funding. I help you articulate the impact of your programs, win competitive grants, and build long-term relationships with funders. DRF, social impact, capital works - whatever the funding stream, I make the case with clarity and credibility.

For investors

You want your capital to go to projects that deliver - without surprises. I shape and stress-test proposals from your partners and fundees so they meet your expectations, align with government priorities, and avoid delivery risk. Due diligence meets real-world delivery insight.
