SUMMARY OF POSITION

The Senior Grant Writer is responsible for crafting PHI fundraising materials, including grant proposals and reports, as well as foundation-facing correspondence. Excellent writing and editing are a must—and work in these areas will constitute the majority of the Senior Grant Writer’s responsibilities. The Senior Grant Writer works closely with our New York City-based Director of Philanthropy, finance team, executive staff, and other PHI program staff as we expand and diversify our fundraising efforts.

 

POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Author concise, clear, and persuasive fundraising materials—including lead and independent drafting of proposals and reports for institutional funding audiences (primarily foundations).
  • Compile and analyze data on program outcomes, incorporating it into documents in a thoughtful manner that supports the narrative.
  • Collaboratively edit and finalize fundraising materials for submission.
  • Support the Development Team’s goal to diversify PHI’s revenue sources through proactively identifying, prioritizing, and applying to new funding sources in collaboration with the Director of Philanthropy; includes identification of opportunities through online research and regular monitoring of industry news sources.
  • Create detailed research profiles of prospective funders for review by PHI’s President and Director of Philanthropy.
  • Participate in meetings with funders, as necessary.
  • Maintain a Salesforce database of fundraising activities, including a calendar of grant-related deadlines.
  • Assist with the preparation of materials for PHI’s Board of Directors, including quarterly program updates.
  • Author and deliver correspondence with funders and donors, e.g., acknowledgment letters for grants and individual gifts.
  • Collaborate with PHI’s Policy and Workforce Innovations Teams to ensure the effective coordination of the organization’s fundraising and programmatic efforts.
  • Contribute to document finalization efforts across the organization, such as proofreading and copy/line editing.

 

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
  • Minimum of 3–5 years of grant writing experience, preferably in a nonprofit setting. In addition to foundation grant writing, experience of local, state, and/or federal grant writing is a plus.
  • Precise editing skills.
  • Strong interpersonal skills.
  • Attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage deadlines, multiple projects, and competing priorities.
  • Comfort with understanding and using data in assessing program outcomes, including processing and cleanup of information extracted from databases; .
  • Knowledge of and demonstrated proficiency in the use of databases and software including Windows, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. (Training on PHI’s specific uses of its Salesforce database will be provided.)
  • Experience with using online research tools (such as Foundation Directory Online) and grant application portals (e.g., Fluxx) a plus.
