Description

Seeds of Africa is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to educate and nurture children and their families by providing quality education and community development programs in Adama, Ethiopia. Seeds of Africa is currently in the midst of its Dream School Campaign: a $2.2 million campaign to build a world-class school and community center that serves 600 students - from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade - and their families.

We are currently seeking a freelance Grant Writer.

The Grant Writer will work closely with the Executive Director and Director of Development to draft, write, submit, and track foundation and governmental grant applications and progress reports throughout the year.

Duties include:
  • Researching potential corporate and foundation grant opportunities, and applying to grants
  • Maintaining a calendar of grant deadlines
  • Drafting and assembling grant texts and supplementary materials

    Required skills:
    Excellent writing skills and a demonstrated track record of successful grant writing campaigns

    Preferred Background:
    Professional experience in grant writing, ideally in education and community development for an international organization.

    Our vision is to create a self-sustaining model for education and community development that can be utilized in other African communities. We move beyond the traditional aid model by shifting from mere relief efforts, to providing students, families, and communities with the resources and skills they need to support themselves and find local solutions to fight poverty, increase civic participation, and enhance community re-investment. We began in 2008 as an after-school program, and have since grown into a full-time school that serves pre-k to 3rd-grade students, and a community development program that serves their mothers and other female guardians.
