Job description


Help Build Homes. Build Hope. Build a Better Dallas.

Every grant you write helps create a place someone can finally call home.

At Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity, we believe everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to live. Every day, our team works alongside families, volunteers, donors, and community partners to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership.

We're looking for a talented Development Grant Writing Specialist who is passionate about storytelling, inspired by impact, and excited to secure the funding that makes our mission possible. If you love transforming powerful stories and measurable outcomes into compelling proposals that change lives, we'd love to meet you.

Why You'll Love Working Here

At Dallas Habitat, you're more than an employee—you become part of a team that is changing lives across our community.

We offer:

  • Competitive nonprofit salary
  • Outstanding medical, dental, and vision benefits that are better than many employers offer
  • Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) because we believe time to recharge matters
  • Paid holidays
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match
  • A collaborative, supportive culture where your ideas are valued
  • The opportunity to see the direct impact of your work in the families and neighborhoods we serve

What You'll Do

As our Development Grant Writing Specialist, you'll play a vital role in securing funding that helps Dallas Habitat expand affordable housing opportunities throughout North Texas.

You'll:

  • Develop strategy, research, and identify new grant opportunities from foundations, corporations, government agencies, and other funding partners.
  • Write compelling grant proposals, letters of inquiry, and funding requests.
  • Manage the entire grant lifecycle—from prospect research and proposal development through reporting and stewardship.
  • Collaborate with program leaders, finance, and development staff to gather data, budgets, and measurable outcomes.
  • Maintain grant calendars and ensure timely submissions and reporting.
  • Track grants and funding activity within Salesforce.
  • Help communicate the incredible impact Dallas Habitat has on families and communities.
  • Hybrid position -  3 days a week in office

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone who is:

  • An exceptional writer who can inspire action through storytelling.
  • Highly organized and able to manage multiple deadlines.
  • Strategic thinker
  • Curious, analytical, and skilled at researching funding opportunities.
  • Detail-oriented without losing sight of the big picture.
  • Collaborative, positive, and mission-driven.
  • Experienced in grant writing and nonprofit fundraising.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • Three or more years of successful grant writing or nonprofit development experience.
  • Demonstrated success securing foundation, corporate, or government grants.
  • Experience with Salesforce or another CRM is preferred.
  • Knowledge of affordable housing, community development, or human services is a plus.

The Difference You'll Make

Every successful proposal helps fund homes for families, revitalizes neighborhoods, and creates brighter futures. Your words will help unlock resources that transform lives across Dallas.

If you're looking for meaningful work where your talent has a lasting impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Join us in building homes, communities, and hope.
