Grant Writers: Supporting Fundraising Strategy

      A Grant Writer is responsible for researching, writing, and submitting funding proposals to secure grants from foundations, corporations, and government agencies, while also managing compliance and reporting for awarded grants.

Details:

      Grant Writers identify and evaluate potential funders (foundations, corporations, government agencies) whose priorities align with the organization’s mission and programs. They track grant deadlines, eligibility requirements, and funding guidelines to build a pipeline of suitable opportunities.

      They draft compelling grant applications, including letters of inquiry, concept papers, full proposals, and supporting documents (budgets, narratives, work plans, and logic models). Grant Writers tailor each proposal to the funder’s language, priorities, and evaluation criteria, using clear, persuasive, and evidence-based writing.

      Grant Writers collaborate with finance and program staff to create realistic, compliant grant budgets that match the narrative and funder requirements. They ensure that budget justifications, line items, and cost allocations are accurate and well-documented.

      They maintain a grants calendar or tracking system to manage deadlines for submissions, reports, and renewals. Grant Writers coordinate internal teams to gather data, approvals, and attachments, and ensure timely, error‑free submissions.

       Grant Writers ensure that all proposals and reports comply with funder guidelines, organizational policies, and legal requirements (e.g., federal regulations, HIPAA, and institutional rules). They double‑check narratives, budgets, and attachments for consistency, accuracy, and completeness before submission.

    After a grant is awarded, Grant Writers often help prepare interim and final reports, including financial statements, performance data, and impact stories. They may also assist with site visits, funder communications, and renewal applications to maintain strong relationships with funders.

      Grant Writers contribute to the organization’s overall fundraising strategy by analyzing funding trends, identifying new prospects, and helping shape the support case. They may also train or mentor junior staff and help update internal grant manuals or templates.
