We are looking for a 3-4 person team of individuals with previous grant-writing experience who would be excited to volunteer their skills in efforts to secure funding for non-profit StrongHER TogetHER. Currently our Executive team and board members join forces to complete grant applications, but with the growth of our program, we are finding that this is becoming more difficult from a time perspective.
We have many sample grant applications that have previously been submitted for the various parts of our program and our team can also offer details that are unique for certain applications. Our hope is that this team can (1) research and prioritize target grants, (2) divide application responsbilities such that each team member is creating narrative inputs for approximately 2-3 grants per year (3) edit all grants based on team member feedback and (4) respond to grant reports as required.
StrongHER TogetHER is 100% volunteer-led and we are finding that this team approach is working well with other parts of our program. We are hopeful that a Grant Writing Team is yet another way we can tap into the skills of the "village" as we work to secure continued funding for our work with Durham youth.

StrongHER TogetHER helps girls rise above stereotypes that alienate them from one another and instead grow up to be women who understand the power of their collective strength in the fight for equity.
StrongHER TogetHER (ST) works to shift mindsets, elevate outcomes and advance social and individual awareness. Because we believe reliable and long-standing impact is achieved organically, capitalizing on time is a core strategy for our program. Girls are nominated to join ST as rising fifth graders and participate in ST programming for eight years, through high school graduation. This length of time allows the girls to fully embrace the notion of collective power, having experienced any number of consistent growth opportunities with the same group of girls. ST is also strategic and intentional in assembling these groups, all of which are comprised of students from various schools, backgrounds, cultures and socioeconomics. These differences, paired with the consistency and duration of our programming, encourages the girls to learn about one another and over time, recognize they are more similar than different and further, their differences are cause for celebration.
This is a Virtual Opportunity with no fixed address.
