Would you like to see more good in the world?
So would we.
That’s why we founded FundSource26 Inc., an award-winning funding vehicle for purpose-driven organizations. We provide strategic planning, coaching and turnkey solutions that get non-profits FUNDED so that they can spend less time chasing money and more time doing good.
The role:
As Grant Development Specialist you will be responsible for all aspects of raising funds from foundations, corporations, and government sources.

Your typical day would include:
- Research: Conducting proper research of government, corporate and foundation granting programs. This may include written correspondence, phone calls and virtual meetings.
- Database & Project Management: Maintaining a database and deadline calendar of quality prospective funders; prioritizing and evaluating for current and potential clients.
- Grant Writing: Developing award-winning grant proposals to foundations and other grant-making organizations, persuasively communicating the organization’s mission and programs to potential funders.

- Copywriting: Developing copy for letters, fundraising marketing materials and funder presentations.
- Client Communication and Engagement: Cultivating strong relationships with clients and providing proactive support and recommendations to optimize their chances of successful grant acquisition.

Although we primarily operate virtually, in-person interactions with clients and team members provide significant value. As a Grant Research Specialist, you can expect to travel 2-5 times per year for company conferences and to meet with geographically distant clients. For local clients, you will have more frequent opportunities for face-to-face meetings.
