Also, local government entities are very hard pressed to find workers who are skilled at writing grant proposals because they are in such demand.

You passed by it without seeing it. That sentence contains the key truth of the matter.

Why is there the profession of Grant Writer? Isn't that just a Defreezer by a different name?

Why is there the profession of Grant Writer? Isn't that just a Defreezer by a different name? My first job after college was working as a research technician for the head of the Endocrinology Dept. at the University of Rochester. He did good research, nothing groundbreaking, but he was in demand throughout the U. for his grant-proposal writing skills. Ya gotta know how to get the Federal dollar to survive in education or government. PS: I can't figure out how to get a line feeds, now.
