    Our programs include a weekly food pantry, educational opportunities, digital literacy, workforce development, language acquisition, and community outreach initiatives.

    We are seeking a dedicated and resourceful Volunteer Grant Development Specialist to help strengthen our fundraising efforts and expand our capacity to serve the community.

    Position Overview

    The Volunteer Grant Development Specialist will work remotely and collaboratively with our Grants Committee and organizational leadership to identify funding opportunities, research prospective grantmakers, and assist in developing compelling grant proposals.

    While this is a remote volunteer opportunity, preference will be given to applicants located in or familiar with North Miami Beach, Miami-Dade County, and the greater South Florida region. Knowledge of local funding sources, community foundations, and regional nonprofit networks is especially valuable.

    • Maintain organized records of grant opportunities, submissions, deadlines, and outcomes.
    • Assist with developing and maintaining a grant application calendar.
    • Support grant reporting and follow-up activities as needed.

    Desired Qualifications

    • Experience in grant research, grant writing, nonprofit fundraising, or a related field.
    • Strong written communication, research, and organizational skills.
    • Ability to interpret grant guidelines and funding requirements.
    • Familiarity with nonprofit organizations and community-based programs.
    • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
    • Ability to communicate effectively and collaborate with a volunteer-led team.
    • Familiarity with South Florida's nonprofit sector, local grantmakers, and community funding opportunities is preferred but not required.

    Previous grant writing experience is preferred, but individuals with strong research and writing skills who are interested in nonprofit grant development are encouraged to apply.

    • Location: Remote (South Florida preferred)
    • Organization Location: North Miami Beach, Florida
    • Position Type: Volunteer (Unpaid)
