    About Innervision

    Innervision is a nonprofit empowering blind and disabled musical artists and podcasters by teaching the business of music and broadcasting. We focus on education, career development, and community enrichment through podcasting, live performances, and media production.

    Position Overview

    We are seeking skilled, sighted volunteers to support our grant-writing efforts over the next 7 months. Innervision aims to submit 8 grant proposals per month. While we already have content and a pipeline of proposals, we need support to:

        • Navigate inaccessible grant portals

        • Re-write and format proposals using AI-generated drafts

        • Conduct targeted grant research

        • Improve clarity, grammar, and structure of our submissions

    You will also help evaluate the strength of current proposals, suggesting improvements based on best practices in competitive, modern grant writing.

    Ideal Volunteer

    You are someone who:

        • Has experience writing successful grants (nonprofit, arts, education, etc.)

        • Can recognize strengths and weaknesses in proposals

        • Understands the changing landscape of foundation and federal funding

        • Writes clearly and effectively with good grammar and paragraph structure

        • Is comfortable using online tools and working remotely

    What You’ll Help With
        1. Navigating inaccessible grant submission websites

        2. Researching and identifying new grant opportunities (foundation, federal, and corporate)

        3. Aligning proposals with updated federal grant guidelines

        4. Tailoring proposals for funders focused on Colorado-based organizations

        5. Packaging polished and professional grant applications

        6. Building focused, realistic, and funder-friendly budgets

        7. Understanding and addressing reviewer criteria

        8. Demonstrating excellence and innovation in proposals

    Additional Request

    We also ask volunteers to review Innervision's website and offer feedback on accessibility, content clarity, and messaging alignment with funders’ priorities.
