We are a small nonprofit organization seeking an experienced grant writer to help us raise funds for our
Nonprofit.

DMD is a rare debilitating disease that affects 1 in 3500-5000 US boys and 1 in 50M U.S. girls. The sooner a patient is diagnosed with D.M.D., the more shortly they can receive care and improved quality of life. Often parents miss the signs and symptoms of D.M.D., which can lead to a later diagnosis. We want to reach undiagnosed, newly diagnosed, and previously diagnosed Spanish-speaking families to educate, inform and connect them to local resources.

The experienced grant writer will work directly with the Founder to identify future funding for the organization and submit funding proposals. The grant writer primarily seeks and applies for one-time or annual grants from external agencies, including the government, pharmaceutical industry, and private and public funding.

Duties (including but not limited to):

• Identify and research grant funding opportunities.
• Write, submit and manage grant proposals under the direction of the Founder.
• Maintain proficient knowledge of the organization's history and programs.
• Furnish prospective funders with supporting documents.
• Report on all opportunities applied for and status.
• Maintain records through our Initiative and external grant agency databases.
• Cultivate ongoing relationships with grant foundations.
• Track and maintain all records regarding incentive compensation in coordination with the Treasurer.
• Build relationships with local, state, and federal appointed and elected officials.
• Cultivate and secure local, state, and federal grants and other additional government funding.
• Devote at least 5 hours weekly to grant writing responsibilities.
• Other responsibilities may be assigned as necessary.

Even though you will be starting as a volunteer position, once we receive funds, we can pay anyone who will be welcome to work internally and grow with us.

This is a remote position, with no direct contact with anyone.

Requirements: P.C. or desktop and a telephone
