Job Responsibilities
Grant Prospecting
• Identify potential new funding prospects from private and public sources that align with TLC’s mission and programming.
• Navigate grant and tax databases in order to collect accurate information on current eligibility criteria, projected grant size, and current awardees.
• Contact potential funders to request additional information or to facilitate an introductory call between the funder and TLC.
• Prepare written summaries of potential grants for review and approval by the Executive Director or
Development Director.

Grant Writing
• Prepare grant applications, proposals, and supporting documents for current and new grants.
• Collect information from other staff as needed to prepare financial information, goal metrics, and other required material.
• Work with the Executive Director or Development Director to finalize and submit the grant.
• Stay informed on grant writing best practices and emerging trends.
• Maintain materials such as templates, standard language, and common grant attachments.

Grant Reporting and Management
• Become familiar with each grant’s compliance requirements, making recommendations for internal procedural changes if needed. As requested, provide training to staff on specific grant compliance requirements.
• Support other members of the TLC team in managing grants, including tracking data and writing reports, ensuring timely and accurate reporting.
• Analyze programmatic data while reporting, flagging any concerns for leadership or making process recommendations for the organization.
• Maintain accurate database of past, current, and potential funders with key information.
• Assist in creating public-facing reports, as needed.
• Attend meetings with funders, as requested by the Executive Director. The majority of our meetings are virtual.

Additional Responsibilities
• TLC's grant writing schedule has historically been concentrated in Q1 and in early Q4 of each year, with some grants and reporting during the remainder of the year. We expect the Grant Writer to work on grant prospecting to identify potential new grants, and to work on new grant applications. However, during periods of time when there are fewer grant-writing responsibilities, we anticipate that the Grant Writer will work to support the Executive Director and Development Director on other fundraising projects, assisting with volunteer appreciation events, and other discrete tasks.
• Ensure that time reports and requests for reimbursement are complete and timely.
• Ensure compliance with all grant requirements from our generous funders.
• Attend required professional development training.
