Grant Research Writer

Treasured Pets Foundation (TPF) is a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization incorporated in Florida. We are located in the St. Petersburg - Clearwater, FL area. The organization was formed in 2021 for the sole purpose of disrupting and combatting Economic Euthanasia. We are dedicated to empowering pet and companion animal parents with the knowledge and resources needed to enhance and extend the lives of their beloved canine and feline companions. While we’ve made outstanding progress since 2021, Treasured Pets still has scores of work to do. The problem of Economic Euthanasia is enormous, and the solution complex — requiring considerable funds and abundant human resources. We need your support to expedite the release of our innovative programs intended to disrupt and alleviate Economic Euthanasia. Please help us fulfill our mission and realize our vision by donating the time you feel comfortable contributing. The Grant Researcher & Writer role is extremely vital to our organization's mission. Moreover, because the role functions directly to acquire funds, the position will convert from a volunteer role to a paid career.
