Jesse Tree Grant Writer VISTA

The Grant Writer will research funding opportunities and develop grant-ready materials, proposal drafts, supporting documents, templates, and tracking systems that support staff in pursuing foundation, corporate, and government funding for Jesse Tree's rental assistance programs. Staff will retain responsibility for final proposal submission, grant management, funding commitments, and financial administration.
