Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

Summary We help mission-driven organizations and leaders connect their mission with the public through storytelling and fractional leadership. We regularly come across grant opportunities and need a reliable admin to help us actually pursue them. I'll forward you a running list of grant opportunities. Your job is to take it from there: figure out what each one requires, manage the application, keep us ahead of deadlines, and come back to me with the specific questions I need to answer so you can complete the submission. I am looking for someone that can work 10-20 hours a month. What you'll do - Review grant opportunities I send you and quickly assess fit, requirements, and effort - Manage applications end to end: gather requirements, draft straightforward sections, assemble materials, and submit - Track all deadlines and keep a simple, shared tracker (opportunity, deadline, status, owner, next step) - Send me a clear, batched list of the specific questions each application asks — so I can answer in one pass instead of back-and-forth - Flag conflicts, missing info, or anything that needs my decision early — not the day before a deadline - Give me a short weekly status update on what's open, what's due, and what you need from me What I'm looking for - Highly organized and deadline-driven — nothing slips through the cracks - Strong written English and the ability to draft clean, clear application content - Comfortable working independently from a list and asking smart, consolidated questions - Responsive and communicative - Grant or proposal experience is a plus, but not required — reliability and organization matter most - Comfortable with shared docs/spreadsheets (Google Workspace or similar
