    Description

    Powered By Love (PBL) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted in grassroots efforts in Arizona with a bold vision to expand nationally. Since launching in 2023, we’ve delivered 44,000+ essential items—including hygiene kits, water, school supplies, food, clothing, and blankets to people experiencing homelessness and hardship.

    Our signature 831 Campaign (inspired by “8-3-1” = I love you) powers six sub-campaigns:

    • Powered By Love (toiletries & hygiene)
    • Powered By Water (clean water distribution)
    • Powered By Knowledge (school supplies)
    • Powered By Warmth (clothing & blankets)
    • Powered By Our Daily Bread (food)
    • Powered By You (sponsoring nonprofit learning tools)

    PBL is small but mighty: a one-person, volunteer-driven nonprofit with a clear mission to grow into a scalable, community-powered movement.

    About the Role

    We’re looking for a passionate Volunteer Grant Writer to join our team and help build the funding foundation that will take PBL from grassroots to national impact. This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants hands-on experience, creative ownership, and a direct pathway to a paid role.

    Key responsibilities include:

    • Researching prospective grants, foundations, and corporate giving opportunities
    • Drafting compelling letters of intent (LOIs), proposals, and applications
    • Helping build a grant calendar and tracking system
    • Collaborating with the founder to align proposals with PBL’s bold growth strategy

    What You’ll Gain

    This is not just another volunteer role—it’s a chance to grow with the organization and directly shape its future.

    Growth Pathway

    • Volunteer (0–2 months)
    • Stipend (2–5 months)
    • Part-Time (5–12 months)
    • Full-Time/Senior (6++ months)

    Who We’re Looking For

    • Strong writing and research skills (grant writing experience is a plus, but not required)
    • Detail-oriented, organized, and deadline-driven
    • Self-starter who thrives in a grassroots, startup-style nonprofit
    • Passionate about equity, dignity, and serving unhoused and vulnerable communities

    Why Join Us?

    • Be part of a ground-floor movement with bold national ambitions
    • Help secure the funding to bring love-in-action to scale—from 44,000 items to 831 million
