Creative project manager volunteer roles

LiberArte

We empower artists to lead arts-driven climate and social justice action for systemic change.

LiberArte is seeking Grant Writing & Funding Systems assistance to help strengthen our fundraising infrastructure and expand access to funding opportunities for artists, cultural workers, and communities.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys organizing information, writing and editing, building systems, and supporting mission-driven work. Rather than writing grant applications entirely from scratch, you'll help organize existing materials, create boilerplate templates, compile information for proposals, and support the development of strong funding applications.

LiberArte applies for grants to support our own programs and operations while also helping artists and cultural leaders identify and pursue funding opportunities for their creative and community-based projects.

Responsibilities may include:

• Organize existing grant narratives, reports, budgets, and supporting documents
• Create and update grant writing templates and resource libraries
• Compile existing organizational information into grant application drafts
• Research potential funding opportunities and maintain grant tracking systems
• Help track deadlines, submissions, and reporting requirements
• Support the development of grant applications for LiberArte programs and initiatives
• Assist with organizing resources and materials that support artists applying for grants
• Improve internal systems that make fundraising and grant writing more efficient and sustainable

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.

Growth Opportunity: As our funding pipeline grows and systems become established, there may be an opportunity for this volunteer role to transition into a paid position.

About SUNSHINE Charity

Loneliness is one of the most profound challenges facing our communities — but together, we can change that.

SUNSHINE Charity is a new, volunteer‑powered organisation dedicated to reducing loneliness and social isolation by creating warm, joyful, inclusive spaces where people can meet, connect, and feel part of something bigger.

We believe that connection is a human need. We believe that joy is a form of care. We believe that community can change lives.

To share our mission, raise awareness, and reach the people who need us most, we need powerful, heartfelt storytelling — and that’s where you come in.

The VOLUNTEER Opportunity

As a Content Creator / Copywriter, you will help shape SUNSHINE’s voice and tell the stories that inspire understanding, compassion, and action.

Your words will help:

• Raise awareness of loneliness

• Share the lived experiences of people we support

• Celebrate community and connection

• Attract volunteers, supporters, and partners

• Build a movement that brings people together

Whether you want to contribute a single story or write regularly, your creativity will make a real difference.

What You’ll Be Creating

Depending on your interests and availability, you may help write:

• Blog posts and articles

• Human‑centred stories and case studies

• Newsletter content

• Social media captions and campaigns

• Website copy

• Press releases and awareness pieces

• Fundraising stories and supporter updates

• Messaging for campaigns and events

We’ll match tasks to your strengths — whether you’re a storyteller, a researcher, a campaign writer, or a creative thinker.

You don’t need professional writing experience — just heart, clarity, and a love of storytelling.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Writes with warmth, empathy, and purpose

• Can communicate clearly and creatively

• Enjoys crafting stories that connect with people

• Understands the power of language to inspire action

• Is reliable, proactive, and able to meet agreed deadlines

• Is comfortable using email, shared documents, and basic digital tools

• Shares SUNSHINE’s values of kindness, inclusion, and joy

Experience in writing, journalism, blogging, marketing, or communications is helpful — but not essential.

• Shape the voice of a brand‑new community charity

• Build a portfolio of meaningful, published work

• Use your creativity to make a real social impact

• Help raise awareness of loneliness and connection

• Work with a friendly, supportive, purpose‑driven team

• Contribute to campaigns that change lives

The Difference You’ll Make

• Behind every person who discovers SUNSHINE is a story that spoke to them.
• Behind every supporter who joins our mission is a message that moved them.
• Behind every moment of connection is a piece of writing that helped someone feel seen.

As a Content Creator / Copywriter, your words will help make that possible.

Your creativity will help SUNSHINE reach people who feel alone — and show them that connection is possible.
