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
