About the Glen Price Group (GPG)

The Glen Price Group (GPG) is a results-oriented consulting firm providing planning, facilitation, research, policy analysis, and fund development support to nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and philanthropic foundations. GPG’s dynamic team draws on each member’s skills and abilities to provide a comprehensive set of high-quality services to clients, guided by GPG’s mission and values (see below). While the GPG team supports work in a range of content areas, education (inclusive of early childhood and postsecondary education) and workforce development are primary areas of focus.

The Grants Associate Position

The Grants Associate will lead the development of grant applications in collaboration with non-profit and public sector clients primarily to state and federal grant programs, working closely with client representatives and other members of the GPG team. This work requires skills in project management, meeting facilitation, client relationships, program ideation and development, writing, basic research and analysis, and attention to detail.

In addition to working on grant applications, this position may contribute to other written reports, such as strategic plans, community asset and needs assessments, workgroup recommendation reports, research summaries, proposals from GPG to potential new clients, etc.

This position is ideal for a well-organized, creative, and driven individual who can balance simultaneous work on multiple projects for different clients and manage deadlines. 

This is a remote position. Candidates must reside within the U.S. Many GPG clients operate on Pacific Time and the Grants Associate must be available to meet with clients between 8am and 5pm Pacific Time.
