🏢 About Write On Fundraising LLC
Write On Fundraising uniquely bridges traditional fundraising with innovative 'upstream methodologies' to bring equity and compassion to philanthropy. Their remote-first culture prioritizes life balance through systems like Slack, Harvest, and Asana while focusing on amplifying voices and increasing capacity for high-impact nonprofits. This makes them an ideal workplace for mission-driven professionals who value both impact and flexibility.
About This Role
This full-time grant writer role involves crafting winning proposals for private, corporate, and government grants while collaborating remotely with a diverse team across the U.S. The position is impactful because it directly enables nonprofits to secure funding that supports community development, civic engagement, and economic development initiatives. You'll need to master their specific processes and technology while maintaining exceptional organization in a flexible but results-oriented environment.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might begin with checking Slack for team updates before reviewing Asana for grant deadlines and project priorities. You'd spend several hours researching grant opportunities, drafting proposals, and collaborating with team members on strategy calls, while using Harvest to track time across different client projects. The flexible schedule allows for focused writing blocks balanced with collaborative sessions, all while ensuring proposals meet both client needs and Write On's equity-focused standards.
