The ideal candidate is an exceptional writer, strong project manager, and self-starter who is passionate about educational equity and youth development. This position reports to the Development Director and works closely with the Executive Director and program staff.

Program Mission:

Using one-on-one academic tutoring, tennis instruction, parent education, mentoring, and enrichment activities, EPATT strives to impact students academically, athletically, and socially, ensuring each is prepared for college and career.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

Within the first 30 days, you've mastered EPATT's program data, impact stories, and budget structures well enough to write compelling, accurate grant proposals without heavy back-and-forth with program staff.
Grant deadlines are never missed, the Bloomerang database stays clean and current, and funders consistently receive timely, polished reports that strengthen — not just maintain — the relationship.
Foundation and donor relationships deepen over time: proposals get funded, reports lead to renewed or increased gifts, and the Development Director can rely on you to spot opportunities and manage details independently.
