    About the Organization

    Kelley Nonprofit Consulting (Kelley NPC) works with public and private grantmaking foundations, philanthropic organizations, public agencies, community nonprofits, municipal funding programs, sovereign Tribal entities, statewide and regional nonprofits, and more to help them dream and achieve their big, bold visions.

    Since 2006, Kelley NPC has worked alongside clients to tackle tough obstacles, realize new opportunities, and together build stronger organizations. Taking a servant leadership style approach, Kelley NPC’s team of 20, based in diverse rural and urban communities throughout the state, is happiest working behind the scenes ensuring the spotlight is on the work of Kelley NPC’s clients and the communities they serve.

    From helping nonprofits grow, diversify and manage earned and unearned revenue, to launching creative nonprofit partnerships to bring federal and state resources to Oregon’s rural communities; and from helping larger philanthropic clients implement new strategic funding opportunities, to providing much-needed capacity as smaller family foundations explore a new approach or field; Kelley NPC serves as an amplifier and translator of sorts – helping resource providers and resource seekers align their efforts for the greatest good.

    A COBID-Certified Women’s Business Enterprise, Kelley NPC works with many culturally specific organizations and upholds values of equity and justice as a non-negotiable part of the organization and its work. The missions of Kelley NPC’s clients are also diverse and range from mental health to performing arts, and from workforce development to youth mentoring, and almost everything else: economic development, environmental stewardship, civil liberties, disaster response and recovery, community safety and more.

    We have a team that is diverse in many ways: race, ethnicity, geographic location, sexual orientation and gender identity, mental health, disability and varied and vast lived experiences. Currently, about half of our team is located in rural areas and half in metro areas; we also have several bi- or multi-lingual team members. Where proximity makes it possible, Kelley NPC hosts at least quarterly in-person coworking and social events. We also host all-team virtual events and meetings at least monthly. This is in addition to our regular, ongoing coordination and collaboration for client work. At this time, Kelley NPC does not have the capacity to sponsor visas or hire outside of the United States.

    Position Summary

    Our work team continues to grow! Kelley NPC seeks a full-time Grant Manager to join its growing company. We are a hard-working team with a fun but fast-paced and often heavy - but extremely rewarding - workload. The successful candidate will bring excellent and dynamic writing skills, fundraising experience, and an ability to manage multiple complex projects and deadlines concurrently. Grant writing will be an integral part of this position, and an ideal candidate will be able to jump into grants with limited or no training.

    Additionally, this person will offer direct experience with broad nonprofit fund development activities and an eagerness to develop and deliver innovative strategies that further Kelley NPC’s work. This position will oversee and coordinate the compliance, evaluation, and reporting of programs, projects, and initiatives funded by grants for a variety of our nonprofit clients. As such, a successful candidate will have familiarity with grant funding policies and procedures and a thorough understanding of regulations at the local, state and federal levels.

    At Kelley NPC, a Grant Manager is responsible for a portfolio of 2-5 clients whose work the Grant Manager leads, typically with support as needed from the owner and other team members. As Grant Manager, you will, for clients in your portfolio: maintain a calendar of funding deadlines of all types (sponsor, foundation grant, contract, federal grant, etc.); work in tandem with the client to outline a funding strategy; spearhead the writing, editing, and submission of all funding requests; manage funding reports and best practices for funder stewardship; work alongside clients to support other fund development needs as identified (support for individual giving campaigns, identifying and vetting new sources of support); and work with other Kelley NPC team members to offer other supports such as impact measurement, messaging and communications, board development and more as needed to portfolio clients.

    While this position will report to Kelley NPC's Owner and Chief Operating Officer, the Grant Manager will be expected to work independently and remotely most of the time while maintaining availability and responsiveness during regular business hours (9am to 5pm).

    For a go-getter, scrappy and proactive person dedicated to high-quality work, this position offers an opportunity for swift and intensive professional growth and additional training regarding fund development strategies, contract and grants management (both grantmaking and grant seeking), strategic planning, impact evaluation, capacity building for nonprofits, and other services and specialties.

    We take care of our clients, we take care of our team, and together we set the standard for consultant work.
