Full Job Description

Come write for a mission you can see and feel

At CHICAT, art and technology meet to ignite hope and open real pathways to opportunity for underserved youth and adults across Chicago, with a focus on residents from North Lawndale, Little Village, and Pilsen. Picture a light-filled, renovated historic warehouse south of the Illinois Medical District where middle schoolers 3D-print their first designs, high schoolers build AR and VR worlds, and adults launch businesses and master the tools of a tech-driven economy. Every program is free, and the results speak for themselves: 450+ individuals served in 2025, 78% of participants from the 25 lowest-income zip codes in Chicago, and a 92% retention rate in our youth programs.

We are looking for a talented, mission-driven Grant Writer who wants their words to translate directly into brighter futures and more opportunities for low-income youth and adults. If you love telling a great story that impacts real people, this one is yours to tell.

What you’ll do

As our Grant Writer, you’ll be a key storyteller and revenue partner for CHICAT’s development team. You will:

Research and identify grant opportunities from foundations, corporations, and government sources that align with CHICAT’s mission and programs
Write compelling letters of inquiry, proposals, and applications that bring our impact to life
Build and manage a grants calendar so deadlines and reporting requirements never sneak up on us
Prepare timely, accurate grant reports that strengthen relationships with funders like the MacArthur Foundation, Joyce Foundation, Julian Grace Foundation, and the Illinois Arts Council
Partner with program and finance staff to gather the data, budgets, and stories that make a proposal sing
Keep clear records of submissions, awards, and outcomes

What you bring

Strong writing skills with a gift for turning mission, data, and human stories into persuasive, fundable narratives
Experience in grant writing, fundraising, or development (nonprofit experience is a plus)
A self-starter who manages deadlines and details with care
Comfort working with budgets and program data
A demonstrated connection to CHICAT’s mission of equity, creativity, and opportunity
Flexibility, agility, and a “can-do” attitude
Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment that operates with urgency and excellence
Bonus: familiarity with the Chicago philanthropic landscape

Why CHICAT

Your work funds free, life-changing programs for people who deserve every opportunity
A fast-paced, mission-driven team that operates with urgency and excellence, and does whatever it takes to deliver
A creative, welcoming team in a beautiful space that’s convenient to public transit and offers free parking
Hybrid schedule, including fully remote Fridays

CHICAT is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, and we are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. Applicants needing accommodations are encouraged to reach out.

Pay: $65,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
Dental insurance
Employee assistance program
Health insurance
Life insurance
Paid time off
Vision insurance
