Volunteer Grant Writer – Grounded Boots Relief

We are looking for a grant writer who can match our grit with words. Someone who can turn our mud-soaked, boots-on-the-ground stories into compelling proposals that funders cannot ignore. This is about showing foundations, agencies, and sponsors the raw reality of what we do, and why their support saves lives.

Responsibilities

• Research and identify grants that fit our mission and capacity
• Write clear, powerful proposals that communicate urgency and impact
• Track deadlines, requirements, and submissions with accuracy
• Collaborate with our leadership team to gather stories, data, and outcomes
• Help build long-term funding strategies to sustain and grow our work

What We’re Looking For

• Strong writing skills and a sharp eye for detail
• Ability to translate raw stories from the field into persuasive language
• Organizational ability to manage deadlines and requirements
• A self-starter who thrives under pressure and wants to be part of something bigger than themselves
• Grant writing experience is ideal, though we welcome anyone with the skills and fire to learn quickly

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a team that thrives in chaos and brings hope to communities when it matters most
• Build your portfolio with high-impact work that gets results
• Flexible: work remotely or in Hendersonville, NC
• Every word you write directly helps us put life jackets over body bags
