Grant Writer for Faith-Based Nonprofit Ministry
The Opportunity We are looking for a grant writer who has a proven track record of securing foundation funding specifically for faith-based and Christian nonprofit organizations.

What We Are Looking For Demonstrated experience writing and winning foundation grants for faith-based nonprofits, churches, or Christian ministries Recent, verifiable grant awards secured within the past 12 to 24 months for organizations similar to ours Familiarity with the foundation funding landscape, including which funders are open to faith-based causes and which are not a strong fit Ability to differentiate proposals in a competitive environment where AI-generated submissions are raising the bar for quality Understanding that many funders tend to award funding to the same organizations year after year, and experience crafting proposals that stand out against that pattern Access to grant research tools and databases (such as FoundationSearch, Instrumentl, GrantStation, or similar platforms) Strong alignment with Christian values and comfort working with ministries whose mission is rooted in Scripture and prayer
