Who You Are
You’re a writer first — someone who can shift seamlessly from a formal grant narrative to a warm, personalized donor update without losing the thread of impact that runs through both. You don’t wait for information to come to you; you go looking for the story, not just the data. You own your deadlines like they’re non-negotiable (because in grant writing, they are), and you take genuine satisfaction in turning complex programmatic work into language that moves people to invest.
What We Require
- Grant writing: 3+ years writing and managing institutional grants in a nonprofit context, with a track record of successful submissions across foundations and/or federated funders
- Full grant lifecycle management: independently managed submission timelines, compliance documentation, funder reporting, and grant implementation
- Donor or impact communications: experience writing donor-facing communications, impact reports, or similar materials that translate programmatic work into compelling philanthropic narratives
- Cross-functional collaboration: experience working across teams to gather data, stories, and financial information under deadline pressure
- Bachelor’s degree required
What Would Make You Exceptional
- Jewish communal sector familiarity — understanding of the Jewish philanthropic landscape and Federation funding structures
- Salesforce or comparable CRM experience — tracking grants, deadlines, and documentation
- Experience contributing to or leading production of an annual impact or donor report
- AI fluency — open to using AI as a tool for research, drafting, and workflow management
How to Apply
Please submit your resume and a cover letter that includes a brief writing sample or link to a grant narrative, impact report, or donor communication you’ve produced. Applications without a writing sample will not be considered.
