We are looking for a 3-4 person team of individuals with previous grant-writing experience who would be excited to volunteer their skills in efforts to secure funding for non-profit StrongHER TogetHER. Currently our Executive team and board members join forces to complete grant applications, but with the growth of our program, we are finding that this is becoming more difficult from a time perspective.
We have many sample grant applications that have previously been submitted for the various parts of our program and our team can also offer details that are unique for certain applications. Our hope is that this team can (1) research and prioritize target grants, (2) divide application responsbilities such that each team member is creating narrative inputs for approximately 2-3 grants per year (3) edit all grants based on team member feedback and (4) respond to grant reports as required.
StrongHER TogetHER is 100% volunteer-led and we are finding that this team approach is working well with other parts of our program. We are hopeful that a Grant Writing Team is yet another way we can tap into the skills of the "village" as we work to secure continued funding for our work with Durham youth.
