I will edit a Thesis or Dissertation outright, as that is expected and is not an ethics violation. Normal coursework is subject to what I said before.
If you can provide me the relevant information, there's no ethical problems for me to edit grant proposals and the like.
The ethical out of bounds for me is actually making the changes (doing the writing) for work which leads to credentials being awarded. It is unethical as it could result in someone who should not receive the credential receiving it and also dilute the credential earned by his peers. The exception comes with a Thesis or Dissertation where professional editing is suggested and expected.
