Grant Writer Job Description

Do you love to write? Do you love to support and be of service to underserved communities? This is an opportunity to play a key role in bringing the transformative and healing power of music to the members of such communities. Consider making a difference by joining this dynamic nonprofit as a grant writer.

The Grant Writer for Inspired Sound Initiative will help raise funds from public and private donors to fund our free-of-charge activities to schools and centers that serve youth and communities with less access to opportunities, care, and resources. You will have the opportunity to work and meet with our organization's founder, Oscar-winning composer Yuval Ron, meet the performing artists of Inspired Sound Initiative, see workshop videos of our highly talented artists, and contribute to making the world a better place! If you live in the LA area, you'll have the opportunity to witness some of the workshops and concerts (which sometimes are not open to the public, making this a rare opportunity to see our work in action) and you will have the opportunity to enjoy interaction with the children and communities we serve!
