Grant Writer - For American Victory WWII Ship
American Victory Ship
The S/S American Victory was launched in 1945 and served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Today, the American Victory Ship is open daily to the public for tours. As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, we are truly a grass roots effort and rely on our amazing volunteers! We are looking for dedicated and knowledgeable grant writers.
A 75 year old ship requires plenty of ongoing maintenance and repairs. Some of these areas we need help in are: welding, plumbing, engineering and electrical work, chipping, painting, sanding, miscellaneous deck work, special projects, and more.
