Collaborate with leadership and programme staff to translate organizational initiatives into fundable proposals. Handle all technical aspects of online grant submissions, ensuring accuracy and timely uploads of all required documents. Research local, state, and federal funding opportunities that align with organizational priorities and capacity. Manage grant applications that require coordination with fiscal sponsors, ensuring compliance with all requirements. Maintain detailed records of all submitted proposals, reporting deadlines, and funder communications. Build and organize a digital library of standard grant support documents for easy access and reuse.
Skills/background needed:
Experience with grant proposal writing is essential. Strong writing, editing, and proofreading skills with the ability to adapt your voice to organizational needs. Proficiency with Google Docs, Google Sheets, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and PDF tools. Ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously and work independently. Familiarity with online grant submission portals is helpful. A commitment to social, environmental, or community-focused work is important.
