Foundation Coordinator


Help Fuel the Mission Through Strategic Grant Partnerships

At Mercy Chefs, we serve professionally prepared, restaurant-quality meals to victims of disasters and underserved communities around the world. Behind every meal is a network of faithful partners who believe in bringing hope in times of crisis.


We are seeking a detail-oriented, strategic, and mission-driven Foundation Coordinator to help grow and steward foundation and grant support that advances our life-changing work.


This role is ideal for someone who combines strong writing skills, relationship management, and organizational excellence with a heart for meaningful impact.


Your Impact

As Foundation Coordinator, you will play a vital role in strengthening and expanding Mercy Chefs’ foundation and institutional funding portfolio.

You will:

  • Research and identify new foundation and grant opportunities aligned with Mercy Chefs’ mission
  • Develop and maintain a robust pipeline of prospective funders
  • Write compelling letters of inquiry, grant proposals, and reports
  • Manage grant calendars to ensure timely submissions and reporting
  • Track foundation revenue and engagement within CRM systems
  • Coordinate proposal materials, budgets, and supporting documentation
  • Steward relationships with foundation partners through thoughtful communication and reporting
  • Collaborate with program, finance, and marketing teams to gather data, impact stories, and outcomes
  • Ensure compliance with grant requirements and funding guidelines
  • Support grant-related strategy for both short-term and long-term growth


Your work will directly support the expansion of disaster response efforts, community feeding programs, and international outreach.


Who You Are

You are highly organized, proactive, and passionate about excellence. You understand that strong grant writing is both strategic and relational — telling a powerful story grounded in measurable impact.

You bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in nonprofit management, communications, English, business, or related field
  • 2–4 years of grant writing, foundation relations, or development experience preferred
  • Proven success in writing and securing grants (preferred)
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong research and analytical abilities
  • Experience managing deadlines and multiple projects simultaneously
  • Proficiency with CRM systems and fundraising software
  • Understanding of nonprofit budgeting and program outcomes
  • Alignment with Mercy Chefs’ Christian mission and values


You are detail-oriented, self-motivated, and energized by the opportunity to strengthen partnerships that multiply impact.


Why Mercy Chefs?

When disaster strikes, we respond. When communities struggle, we serve. When hope feels distant, we show up with compassion, excellence, and faith.

Joining Mercy Chefs means:

  • Being part of a purpose-driven, mission-centered team
  • Seeing the direct impact of your work on communities in crisis
  • Growing professionally through collaboration and development opportunities
  • Contributing to an organization that leads with integrity and faith


Ready to Help Expand the Table?

If you are passionate about connecting foundations with meaningful impact and using your writing and organizational gifts to serve others, we invite you to apply.


Together, we can bring hope — one meal, one partnership, one community at a time.
