i don't know if you've ever used a grant submission portal or submitted one yourself, but the title of the person doesn't matter, just the content. lots of smaller non-profits looking for funding don't even have an official grant writer. any foundation worth a shit doesn't look at a name to decide whether to fund. what happened to me is straight up plagiarism in the truest sense of the word.
i'm not so easily discouraged, though, and don't intend on stripping or giving up and joining a church band just yet.
in hindsight it was a learning experience of sorts in that i learned to be wary of "ambitious" white women and act accordingly. i should have asked a lot more questions and gotten some stuff in writing. next time.
