We work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The working hours would be flexible for the grant writer and based off grant availability. An important part of this volunteer role would include the following tasks that you would handle.

  • Research prospective grant-makers, including charitable giving history, Form 990s, and grant guidelines.
  • Draft grant proposals, LOIs and additional materials.
  • Assist with writing final proposals, impact reports and preparing stewardship materials.
  • Help brainstorm creative and strategic ways to connect our mission to a foundation's priorities.
  • Compile internal data on service delivery by utilizing RC View to create a map of Red Cross impact within a donor’s community.
  • Interview local volunteers and clients to capture stories and quotes of mission delivery that can be used in proposals.
  • Compile and archive completed grants per grant management protocol and audit compliance.
  • Create and maintain a grant calendar to track proposal and report deadlines.
  • Attend donor visits where appropriate to share mission moments.
We don't look at the time spent as hours or shifts, but doing something we love! Our personal responsibility must come first! We ask that everyone one is in attendance to the weekly meeting, which will be discussed to ensure the meeting is held at a time when we can all attend. Our volunteers are not locked into any amount of time, due to the severity of our work. At any time, a person feels they cannot continue to volunteer, we respectfully understand that.

Mission Statement

The Dock Ellis Foundation’s mission is to uplift minority communities by uniting missing persons with their loved ones. We hold the belief that safety and having a voice are rights belonging to everyone, no matter their background or economic status. Our dedication lies in offering heartfelt support and crucial resources to families and individuals facing the challenges of crime and violence.

Description

In the ever-evolving landscape of societal challenges, certain names shine brightly, resonating with hope, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to justice. The Dock Ellis Foundation is one such beacon, named in honor of the legendary Dock Ellis, an iconic figure in the world of sports and a staunch advocate for social justice. His spirit of unyielding determination and courageous advocacy has inspired the formation of this foundation, which has been a lifeline for countless minority families navigating the dangerous waters of crisis and uncertainty


In 2020, 543,018 people were reported missing in the United States. Black people make up only about 13% of the American population, yet almost one third of the people reported missing were Black. This reveals how Black communities are affected by this issue disproportionately.

There are simply not enough resources, compassion or attention on our missing black and brown women, men and children. Most importantly there isn't enough support for the children devastated by a parent that has unwillingly vanishing. Many families are dealing with lack of cultural awareness or competency by the entities they rely on to help, lack of sensitivity to victims and their families, poor or nonexistent communication with families, preconceived judgment for families with criminal records and survivors, chronic lack of cases being brought to justice.
