During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Do you want to join a team that helps ALIVE Rescue maintain and enhance its programs? Do you really enjoy writing, researching and/or networking? If yes to any of the following, the grant writing team is for you.
ALIVE Rescue’s grant writing team meets bi-weekly (although if you can’t make it physically you can communicate virtually). We research and find potential grants from foundations, companies and programs across the country. Once we’ve found a grant that we qualify for, we apply. Additionally, we work to maintain current relationships with foundations, companies or agencies that have previously funded our initiatives. Receiving grants is a very important part of maintaining and expanding current programs as well as creating future programs. If you’re not good at writing, you can help with research. And if you don’t prefer to research, you can help with writing! We will also need help with networking and maintaining current relationships.
Prerequisites: Professional writing experience helpful. Knowledge of animal rescue community in Chicago helpful. Six-month minimum commitment required. Great opportunity for someone looking to expand one’s professional writing skills and/or feed their love of research. We expect that a minimum of five hours per week is needed to effectively contribute to the team.
Tasks include the following responsibilities:
1214 W. Monroe, Chicago, IL 60607, US
ALIVE Rescue is an animal rescue that protects the lives and the rights of animals. We believe every animal has the right to a well-balanced, socialized and fulfilled life. We take on the responsibility to save, rehabilitate and place abandoned, abused and stray animals. We provide medical, behavioral and physical support for animals despite their age, health and/or breed. ALIVE promotes sustainable living and care giving by building awareness, appreciation and respect for all animals and the environment within our communities.
ALIVE Rescue is a volunteer run organization who rescues cats and dogs who would otherwise be euthanized. ALIVE is proud to be the first green animal rescue in Chicago.
We'll work with your schedule.
This is a Virtual Opportunity, with no fixed address.
