OVERVIEW & ADDITIONAL NOTES

The grant writer position will work directly with the Executive Director to help educate the Board on grant writing techniques, challenges and opportunities. Due to Beloveds Foundation unique structure, there will be some challenges in finding eligible grants, as Beloveds works with collecting and distributing donations but not directly with animals and their welfare. The potential is to expand Beloveds into various other rescue support services, which will also require grant support but this will be clarified in the coming year.
