Volunteer Grant Writer

You’ll join a small, collegial Advancement team where your writing directly determines what programs we can sustain and grow. Because we’re an all-volunteer organization, every dollar raised goes to the mission rather than overhead.

Commitment: Remote part-time (6 to 8 hours per week) volunteer; independent grant writing plus virtually meet weekly with the Advancement team. One-year commitment desired.

What You’ll Do

    • Draft and submit grant one or two proposals per month to foundations and other institutional funders
    • Tailor narratives to each funder’s priorities and application requirements
    • Maintain organized records of applications, deadlines, and funder communications
    • Work closely with the Grant Researcher to move promising prospects into submitted proposals
    • Meet weekly with the Advancement team

What We’re Looking For

    • Previous grant writing experience, ideally in the nonprofit sector
    • Strong writing and communication skills
    • Comfort with Excel, Word, and online research for organizing and tracking applications
    • Willingness to get up to speed on AFTDJ by reviewing recent proposals
    • Availability for a weekly Advancement team meeting

How to Apply

    • By email, with your resume and LinkedIn URL if you have one, to Jean Lee, Director of Advancement, jlee@faith-justice.org
