This role is ideal for someone who enjoys organizing information, writing and editing, building systems, and supporting mission-driven work.

What Success Looks Like:

• A well-organized library of grant templates, narratives, and supporting materials
• Improved grant tracking and deadline management systems
• Stronger, more efficient grant application processes
• Increased organizational capacity to pursue funding opportunities

This is a meaningful opportunity to gain hands-on experience in nonprofit fundraising, arts administration, and grant development while supporting artists and communities working toward social, racial, climate, and cultural justice.
