Grants & Funding Research Associate | Feed NY

Let's Feed NY

Let’s Feed NY is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building permanent food access infrastructure across New York City and Long Island. We partner with Amazon to serve hundreds of families through weekly food distributions and at‑home grocery deliveries.

We need 1‑2 Grants & Funding Research Associates to build and manage our funding pipeline. You will find grant opportunities, research funders, draft applications, and help position LFNY for institutional capital. This is not busywork — you are directly responsible for bringing money into the organization.

Research and identify grant opportunities from foundations, government programs, and corporate giving. Track deadlines, eligibility requirements, and application status across all active grants. Draft grant narratives, budgets, and supporting documents in coordination with the founder. Research CDFIs, impact investors, and mission‑aligned capital partners. Build and maintain a live funding pipeline tracker. Monitor new RFPs and funding announcements relevant to food security, community development, and nonprofit infrastructure.

Strong researcher and writer. Detail‑oriented with the ability to manage multiple deadlines. Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision. Interest in nonprofit finance, philanthropy, or social impact. Experience with grant writing is a plus but not required — we will train the right person.

Ongoing, 8‑12 hours per week. Fully remote — work on your own schedule.
