Grants & Fundraising Fellow
Supports grant and sponsor research, source documentation, fundraising materials, and pipeline tracking.
Accepting applications
Overview
GFC may pursue grants, sponsorships, and other fundraising opportunities that align with its child-focused Programs and Initiatives. A Grants & Fundraising Fellow may help build the careful research, documentation, and materials GFC needs to evaluate and pursue those opportunities.
Responsibilities
- Research grant and sponsor opportunities aligned with GFC's Programs and current priorities
- Document eligibility, deadlines, requirements, and reliable source links
- Draft sponsor and fundraising materials for GFC review
- Maintain clear opportunity pipelines, statuses, next steps, and follow-up records
- Support application preparation without independently submitting official applications
Example projects
Depending on current GFC priorities, examples could include:
Building a sourced grant-opportunity brief for a Program area
Drafting sponsor-facing materials for GFC review
Organizing a fundraising pipeline with eligibility, deadlines, status, and next steps
Who this is for
A dependable, relatively independent contributor with strong research, careful writing, sound judgment, and reliable documentation and follow-through. Curiosity and willingness to learn nonprofit funding requirements matter more than a specific credential.
What you'll learn
- You'll have opportunities to own substantive grant- or sponsor-research projects, gain nonprofit fundraising-operations experience, and strengthen sourced writing and pipeline management through direct GFC review and feedback. Depending on the assignment, completed research briefs, funding analyses, or approved materials may provide portfolio-ready examples that do not disclose private or internal information.
Commitment
This is currently an unpaid volunteer / fellowship-style opportunity with Giving Foundation for Children Inc. Fellows are generally expected to contribute approximately 8โ10 hours per week and make an initial commitment of approximately six months. Exact schedules, participation dates, university requirements, and any approved variations are confirmed individually with GFC.
Academic credit, CPT/OPT approval, recommendations, and future employment are not guaranteed.
