Funding Researcher & Data Specialist – Grant Development Pod (Pro Bono / Volunteer)
Details
Description
ORGANIZATION: Face Friends Foundation, Incorporated
POSITION: Funding Researcher & Data Specialist – Grant Development Pod
COMMITMENT: 2 to 3 Hours Per Week (Completely Asynchronous & Flexible)
LOCATION: Remote / Virtual
ABOUT US:
Face Friends Foundation, Incorporated is an asset-backed, federally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity operating as a self-sustaining Workforce Development Social Enterprise Academy in Gwinnett County. Moving completely away from traditional, donation-dependent non-profit models, our upcoming physical facility hardwires a commercial Culinary Incubator Kitchen directly to an automated Tech Literacy Lab under a single roof. We fund our capital requirements by operating market-driven social enterprises and structured B2B training paths to generate internal operating capital.
THE POD INFRASTRUCTURE:
To accelerate our capital velocity and secure our $150,000 storefront lease escrow for the Sugar Hill Workforce Academy on Buford Highway, we are expanding our internal Grant Development Pod. We are building a fully stacked administrative support team so that our incoming Executive Grant Writers can focus entirely on high-yield composition without getting bogged down by cold research or manual formatting.
THE ROLES & OBJECTIVES:
We are recruiting detail-oriented analytics and administrative professionals to fill two specialized functions within our internal Bitrix24 department workspace:
ROLE OPTION A: INSTITUTIONAL FUNDING RESEARCHER
- Funder Tracking: Sourcing, identifying, and evaluating high-probability municipal corporate foundation grants and community utility allocations.
- AI Syncing: Reviewing and qualifying raw target matches uncovered by our Wix Symphony AI Grants Agent.
- Calendar Maintenance: Logging upcoming application windows onto our central Bitrix24 department submission calendar.
ROLE OPTION B: DEMOGRAPHIC DATA SPECIALIST
- Data Scrubbing: Compiling and organizing localized Gwinnett County census metrics, labor stats, and food insecurity data into clean Google Sheets.
- Document Audit: Maintaining our 'Master Grant Assets' file trees, ensuring our 501(c)(3) letters, bylaws, and board rosters are perfectly formatted.
- Asset Verification: Organizing raw data files so our writers have immediate, verified ammunition to drop into live proposals.
⏳ CAPACITY & STRIC GOVERNANCE MANDATES:
All internal executive staff operate asynchronously for 2 to 3 hours per week around their primary professional calendars. To maintain absolute momentum across our lean 17-person staff, personnel strictly abide by our corporate bylaws (Memo: FFF-MEMO-2026-GOV08):
- The 14-Day Log-In Mandate: Personnel must check their platform workspace at least once every two weeks.
- The 30-Day Update Rule: Active status comments or progress metrics must be logged within any rolling 30-day window. Passing day 30 initiates an email status check; zero response within 48 hours results in automated profile deactivation.
📋 APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTERESTED VOLUNTEERS:
- MANDATORY RESUME SUBMISSION: Submit your application directly through the Idealist portal, uploading a professional resume (.PDF format preferred) highlighting your research, data entry, Excel/Google Sheets, or admin support background.
- EVALUATION & INVITATION: Our Recruitment Directorate reviews all resumes daily. Approved candidates bypass interview loops and receive direct employee access keys to claim their seat on our active staff.
