Grant Writer : Help solve the literacy crisis

Save to Favorites

Have you ever wanted to do something AMAZING to change the world but didn't know where to start?

Here is an opportunity to join the American Youth Literacy Foundation, an all- volunteer 501 c 3 charitable non-profit organization, founded in 2008 and dedicated to providing a gateway to a future in which all children, in every classroom in America, learn how to read by the end of 3rd grade. Our mission is to save millions of children from a lifetime of illiteracy and bring about true education parity in just a few years’ time by deploying the FUNetix(r) 12 Hour Reading App(tm) nationwide.

With the FUNetix app, which is 100% free to download and use, any child can learn how to read in about 12 hours of total play time; and in America’s public schools today, there are millions of children who can’t read or are struggling to read, which has led to more than 20 million illiterate high school dropouts over the past 20 years. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

We started in 2008 by taking a groundbreaking, science-based curriculum and proving that it can scale to reach and help thousands of children. Then, in 2020, during the pandemic, we created an app, based on our now patented reading curriculum, that takes kids from the ABC's to a 2nd grade reading level through an amazing journey that's fully narrated and tastefully animated, and gamified, just enough, to create an immersive, interactive environment that captures kids' attention and imagination and launches them to literacy in a fun and easy way.

Our challenge now is to bring the app to millions of children who are not learning how to read in school, either because they are in schools that are failing or because they are in difficult situations at home for a variety of reasons.

Right now, we are looking to expand our incredible Team FUNetix and we are looking for a skilled Grant Writer .

Grant Writers are primarily responsible for researching, developing, and writing grant proposals. The Grand Writer will identify foundations, corporations, and government entities that provide Literacy, Education and Ed Tech related grants, and will persuasively communicate American Youth Literacy Foundation’s mission and programs to potential funders.

We hope this opportunity finds you at the right place and the right time in your career to make a difference and an impact, in an amazing way, for millions of children who are waiting for someone, or something, to lead them out of a life of impoverishment and into a future of unlimited possibility and potential.

So, if this sounds like something that you have the time for and interest in, and if you have the confidence and ability to work in a virtual environment using select networking and communications tools and platforms, then please reply to this listing and tell us about yourself.

We look forward to hearing from you and speaking with you about the future of literacy in America.
