Coordinate meetings, site visits, and ongoing communications.
Identify future funding opportunities that align with agency priorities.

Ensure Compliance & Stewardship

Oversee grant reporting and compliance requirements.
Track deliverables, outcomes, and reporting deadlines.
Share the impact of grant-funded programs through meaningful stewardship communications.

Lead & Inspire

Supervise and mentor the Program Development Coordinator.
Foster a collaborative, accountable, and service-focused team environment.
Serve as a member of the Philanthropy leadership team, contributing to organizational strategy and fundraising success.

What You Bring:

We're looking for someone who is equal parts strategist, storyteller, collaborator, and project manager.

You'll be successful if you have:

Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred
6+ years of grant writing, nonprofit fundraising, program development, or related experience
Demonstrated success securing grants from foundation, corporate, and/or government funders
Exceptional writing, editing, research, and communication skills
Experience managing multiple deadlines and complex projects
Strong organizational and relationship-building skills
Ability to translate data, outcomes, and community impact into compelling funding narratives
Experience collaborating with finance teams on grant budgets is preferred
Experience in human services, healthcare, early childhood, education, or community-based organizations is highly valued
