Save to Favorites

Commitment: Project-based or part-time, flexible hours
Cause Area: Animal Welfare, Fundraising, Nonprofit Development, Community Impact

Are you a skilled grant writer with a passion for animals and community upliftment? The Society for Animals in Distress (SAID)-a trusted nonprofit with a 67-year legacy-is looking for a talented Grant Proposal Writer to help us unlock vital funding and expand our life-changing work.

SAID provides accessible, professional veterinary care and humane education to underserved communities in South Africa. We believe in long-term solutions, empathy-based education, and breaking cycles of suffering-for both animals and the people who love them.

Despite decades of impact, our funding does not match the scale of our vision. That’s where you come in.

We’re seeking a proactive, detail-oriented grant writer to:

• Identify and research relevant local and international grant opportunities.

• Write compelling, tailored proposals that clearly communicate our mission, programs, and impact.

• Support grant calendar management, applications, reporting, and relationship cultivation with funders.

• Help us develop a sustainable funding pipeline to secure long-term organisational growth.

• Experience in grant writing, fundraising, nonprofit development, or communications.

• Strong research skills and the ability to match programs with potential funders.

• Excellent writing, editing, and proposal structuring abilities.

• Passionate about animal welfare, social equity, and making a measurable difference.

Your words can bring veterinary care to animals who would otherwise suffer, provide education that builds empathy in children, and fund community initiatives that improve lives across generations. This is your chance to use your expertise to build something that lasts.

Join us. Help fund hope.
