We also have success in applying for various types of grants and would like to increase this source of income.  You will be responsible for identifying funding opportunities, engaging with them, and managing them through to successful acquisition of funds. The engagement process will involve the creation of concise, donor-specific bid documents and presentations. You will be reporting to the CEO who will assist you with qualifying opportunities and tracking their progress.

We will also consider candidates from a sales and or marketing background with experience in bid writing.
