    Description

    Use your experience to help us grow support for families facing brain cancer.

    About Brain2Brain

    Brain2Brain is a nonprofit organization supporting people affected by Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer.

    Our mission is to help find a cure for brain cancer and brain tumors through research, awareness, and community support. We are here for patients, families, friends, and caregivers navigating an incredibly difficult journey.

    Brain2Brain was created from a deeply personal experience, and we are building a compassionate, driven organization that wants to make a real difference.

    About the role

    We are looking for a volunteer with real experience in grant writing and crowdfunding fundraising to help us strengthen our fundraising efforts and expand our impact.

    This is not an entry-level role. We are specifically seeking someone who has already written grant applications, identified funding opportunities, or helped lead successful crowdfunding or donor-driven campaigns.

    We would love to welcome someone who can bring both skill and initiative and help us move forward with confidence.

    How you can help

    • Identify relevant grant opportunities and funding sources
    • Write, edit, and strengthen grant applications and letters of inquiry
    • Help shape fundraising and crowdfunding campaigns
    • Support donor and sponsor outreach
    • Advise on messaging, storytelling, and calls to action that drive support
    • Help organize fundraising priorities, deadlines, and submissions

    Who we are looking for

    We are especially interested in someone who has:

    • Experience writing successful grant applications
    • Experience supporting or leading crowdfunding campaigns or fundraising initiatives
    • Strong writing, communication, and research skills
    • A clear, organized, and proactive way of working
    • The ability to contribute independently and bring practical ideas

    Please note: we are looking for someone with prior experience in grant writing and/or crowdfunding. This role is best suited to a volunteer who has already done this work before and can contribute with limited hand-holding.

    Why join us

    • Your experience can make a direct and meaningful impact
    • You will support a mission that helps people and families affected by brain cancer
    • You will be part of a caring and purpose-driven organization
    • Your contribution can help us grow at an important stage

    Time commitment

    Flexible, ideally 4–8 hours per week

    Remote

    To apply

    Please send us:

    • A short introduction
    • Your CV or LinkedIn profile
    • A brief summary of your relevant experience in grant writing, crowdfunding, or fundraising campaigns
    • Any examples of grants, campaigns, or results you have supported

    Please only apply if you have prior hands-on experience in grant writing, crowdfunding, or fundraising campaign delivery.
