Fundraising – Grant Writer

Grant writing has played a key role in Greenwood's receiving funds to continue operating. Grant writing volunteers research, prioritize, and apply for grants from a wide variety of governmental, private, and public foundations and institutions. If a grant application is funded, the grant writing volunteer is expected to complete all required follow-up reports.

If you have experience grant-writing, or are willing to learn, we hope you will join our grant-writing team! This is a volunteer opportunity that can be done from home with the opportunity to come to the Center to collect the information you need. Grant writing volunteers work with the Executive Director in finding and completing grants.
