Experienced Grant Writer

Who we are

Remineralize the Earth (RTE) is a Northampton, MA-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization engaged in a variety of projects both domestically and internationally that promote the use of finely ground rock dust and sea-based minerals to restore soils. Through our education and outreach, projects, research, and advocacy, RTE facilitates a worldwide movement that brings together gardeners and farmers, scientists and policymakers, and the public to regenerate soils and forests around the world, increase the nutritional quality and yield of food, and stabilize the climate through carbon sequestration.

We work with local and remote volunteers on our program management system called Basecamp. Our team is made up of federal work-study students as well as graduate students, researchers, experts and other professionals.

The Grant Writer will maximize financial support, and seek foundation and government grants to support RTE's mission and goals. Grant writer will report to the team and executive director.
