Impact the Future of Gender Freedom

Gender Freedom Society is seeking a diligent and creative Volunteer Grant Writer to help us fuel our mission. In this role, you won't just be filling out forms; you will be the architect of our funding strategy, directly enabling programs that support the transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) community.

• Relationship Management: Help develop and maintain long-term relationships with funders and stakeholders.
• Process Ownership: Manage the grant calendar, ensuring all deadlines, compliance requirements, and post-award reports are met.
• Collaboration: Work with staff to "translate" our community impact into data-driven, compelling stories for donors.

Qualifications

• Experience: 2+ years in grant writing or technical writing is preferred, but we welcome talented writers with a passion for social justice.
• Skills: Exceptional research skills and the ability to synthesize complex project goals into clear, persuasive prose.
• Reliability: Strong project management skills; you are someone who never misses a deadline.
• Tech Savvy: Comfortable with fundraising databases and virtual collaboration tools (e.g., Zoom, Google Workspace).
• Alignment: Deep commitment to the mission of the Gender Freedom Society and an understanding of the challenges facing the TGNC community.

What’s In It For You?

• Networking: Work directly with non-profit leaders and regional funders.
• Flexibility: This is a 100% remote role with a flexible schedule (estimated 1–3 hours per week).
• Direct Impact: See the tangible results of your work in the community resources your grants provide.
