Our nonprofit is looking to connect with a consultant who is a grant writer or talented copywriter to assist our team in reviewing a grant proposal and making updates.
To implement this grant writing project, we'll need two meetings with a volunteer. In our first meeting, we will provide you with a copy and review the application draft with you. We'll align on expectations and agree on the project timeline. Next, you'll review our document using the track changes function, checking for inconsistencies and continuity errors, and create a list of recommended changes to share with us. The project will conclude after up to two rounds of edits which the volunteer will make the agreed-upon changes to the document.
Noggin's ability to serve students — through free tutoring, Robotics Camp, and other enrichment programs — depends entirely on sustainable funding, especially since a meaningful portion of the families we serve qualify for Medicaid/CHIP rather than paying full program costs. Every well-written grant application isn't just paperwork — it's the difference between turning a family away and welcoming them in.
As a small nonprofit, we're often stretched thin trying to balance program delivery with the research, writing, and follow-through that strong grant applications require — and that gap can mean missed funding opportunities or rushed, less competitive submissions. A skilled volunteer helping us with grant research, drafting, and editing means our applications can be more thorough, better tailored to each funder's priorities, and submitted with the polish that increases our odds of success (we've already seen firsthand how strengthening an application with concrete program outcomes — like our Robotics Camp attendance and volunteer participation — can raise a funder's scoring).
In short: your writing and strategy skills directly translate into dollars that keep programs running, seats filled, and doors open to the students who need them most.
We have a dedicated team member for the project who will provide you with the document that needs to be reviewed in an easily shareable format. (Microsoft Word, Google Docs, etc.) We'll also send you the proposal and application guidelines.
