Grant Researcher (volunteer)

2024-03-28 - 2024-06-26 | Virtual Opportunity

About our volunteer Grant Researcher role: Our goal is to recruit a team of volunteers from around the US (multiple time zones), who are interested in supporting our nonprofit by researching prospective grant funders, to create a pipeline of funders for our Y Staff to consider submitting to. Here are our objectives for this role: * Experience is NOT needed. Training is provided. * We are seeking volunteers who can contribute 2 to 4 hours a week (researching) and 1 hour a week by joining our virtual grants team meeting. * Commit to the volunteer role for a minimum of one year. * Candidate should be comfortable and skilled in writing and grammar. * Volunteers should be comfortable researching virtually, using the internet, and working in different platforms. Volunteers often ask if they’ll get to write grants. Here is an example of what that looks like and the reasoning behind it. * As volunteers complete researching around two dozen grants within their first three months, the grant researcher (volunteer) may want to help more and begin to write a portion of a grant on behalf of our Y. For those that are interested and ready, writing will be discussed which could include writing a letter of introduction, a letter of interest, a letter of inquiry, or part and or all of the grant submission. If a Grant researcher volunteer has prior experience or shows exceptional research/writing this timeline may be adjusted. Note: We typically require a minimum of 12 grants to be researched as we really want those who write for us to truly understand how we implement our mission and what our collective impact is. Your passion for our work needs to show through your research and writing. If you enjoy research or writing we need you! Backgrounds that will help: * Current or prior Y Experience * Community minded, wanting to give back and help out a nonprofit * Have we captured your interest? If so, please reply in the volunteer match and include the following: Tell us about the following; * Why are you interested in volunteering and supporting? * Can you commit to the time commitment (2 - 4 hours a week and 1 hr for our grant team meeting)? Our meeting is every other week on Fridays at 8 a.m. (PST time) through Zoom (virtual). (This day and time are being evaluated currently). * Are you comfortable with our request to commit to a minimum of 1 year? * Can you confirm on a weekly basis that you can attend our virtual grant team meeting each week? Note: We will survey the volunteers to create a mutually agreeable time. * Share why you are interested in this role * Share what support you will need (other than our initial clinic and access to our grant portal and form to be completed) in order for you to be successful. * For those candidates who are selected for interviews and get moved forward, you will be required to provide three references (with how you know the person, their phone, and email). We will ask you to complete a background check, and conflict of interest/confidentiality form, and either a resume’ or your Linkedin profile. Thank you in advance for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from you

I serve on the Olympic Peninsula YMCA Board and the Sequim Advisory Board. I also have the good fortune to be working on supporting the Y leadership with the creation of a much-needed Early Learning Center (Capital Project) for the Port Angeles Community. I highly recommend getting involved. The Y staff are dedicated and great to work with.

The people at the Y are so nice. I like to invest my time with others that want to make positive impacts on our community, and that is what I have found at the Port Angeles, Jefferson County and Sequim YMCAs. I recently volunteered to cleaned up a section of Highway 101 with a lot of fun Y people.
