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.

About DOCK ELLIS FOUNDATION INC

Location:

Mission Statement

The Dock Ellis Foundation mission is to empower minority communities by bringing home missing persons. We believe that everyone deserves to be safe and have a voice, regardless of their background or economic standing. We are dedicated to providing support and resources to families and individuals who are affected by crime and violence.

Description

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.
