At the Land Stewardship Project, we are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Grants Specialist to join our Development team.

Job Summary:

The Grants Specialist will be responsible for leading all aspects of the grant process, including research, proposal submission, deadline tracking, and reporting for a portfolio of 5-10 institutional funders. You will also steward positive relationships with funders, provide regular updates about the impacts of our work, and communicate relevant news or changes in a timely manner.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead all aspects of the grant process, including research, proposal submission, deadline tracking, and reporting for a portfolio of 5-10 institutional funders.
  • Steward positive relationships with funders by providing regular updates about the impacts of our work and communicating relevant news or changes in a timely manner.
  • Research new funding opportunities that align with our work and goals as needed.
  • Maintain complete and up-to-date grant records, including research, proposals, agreements, and any grant-associated forms.
  • Track status and due dates for all grants using our CRM, EveryAction.
  • Work with staff to document programmatic goals and highlights to support proposal and report writing.

  • Contribute to annual financial planning by projecting expected income from your portfolio for the upcoming fiscal year.
  • Develop a deep understanding of our work and the communities we serve through engagement.
Qualifications:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated individual with at least 2 years of grant writing experience and a track record of crafting concise, impactful proposals and reports. You should have proven project management skills, be able to handle time-sensitive tasks, competing priorities, and work backwards from intended outcomes. You should also be enthusiastic about building authentic relationships with colleagues, funders, partners, and community members.

We are committed to building a more just and sustainable food system, and we seek a candidate who shares our passion for critical issues related to rural communities, food, farming, social change, and the environment. You should be goal-oriented and motivated to achieve results, with a balance of collaborative spirit and independence that makes you a proactive, motivated self-starter who thrives in a team setting.

You should be comfortable using a range of tech tools to manage data, track progress toward goals, and communicate with colleagues. Experience with customer relationship management systems, such as EveryAction, Raiser's Edge, or Salesforce, as well as office suites like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, is a plus.

This is a hybrid work position, and you will be required to work from one of our offices, work in the field, and work from home. You must have a dedicated workspace where you are able to maintain work hours reflective of office hours (Monday to Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.).
