About the role

A prominent grassroots nonprofit organization in Washington, DC, is seeking an experienced Grant Writer to spearhead the pursuit of corporate and foundation grants. You will develop a portfolio of funders, prepare proposals and reports, and manage a multi-year grants plan.

The position offers a salary range of $68,000 to $73,000 and various benefits, including paid leave and medical coverage.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
