Job description

DataKind is looking for a Grant Writer Contractor (REMOTE)!
Engagement Description
This is a remote contract role for approximately 40 hours/week on average, with surge capacity around reporting deadlines. The initial contract will start from July 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026, with possibility for extension. The Grant Writer can set their own schedule independently but needs to be available to coordinate with our team, the majority of which works EST hours.
Compensation
Rate: $60 - $72/hr (DOE)
What You'll Do
DataKind is seeking a Grant Writer Contractor to support the development and submission of grant proposals to philanthropic funders. The Grant Writer Contractor will work closely with the DataKind team to craft compelling, well-researched proposals that clearly communicate our mission, programs, and impact.
The Grant Writer Contractor will:
  • Build a funding pipeline for DataKind's US Communities work, with potential to support broader organizational fundraising over time.
  • Prospect and recommend new philanthropic funding opportunities that align with DataKind's mission, programs, and strategic priorities - including researching foundations, corporate giving programs, and other grant-making organizations.
  • Synthesize complex programmatic and technical information - including public benefit AI and civic technology initiatives - into clear, compelling narratives tailored to each funder's interests and requirements.
  • Draft, edit, and finalize grant proposals, letters of inquiry, and supporting materials to a high standard.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to gather accurate program, budget, and impact information needed for submissions.
  • Manage proposal timelines and ensure submissions are completed accurately and on time.

What We're Looking For:
  • Required:
    • Minimum of 5 years of experience in grant writing, preferably within the nonprofit, social impact, or technology sectors.
    • Demonstrated success in securing significant grants from philanthropic sources, including multi-year commitments and awards of $500,000 or greater.
    • Excellent research, writing, and editing skills, with particular strength in technical writing - especially the ability to translate complex AI, data science, or civic tech concepts into accessible, persuasive narratives for technical and non-technical funders.
    • Proven track record of securing grants from philanthropic sources, including competitive RFPs.
  • Preferred:
    • Availability for virtual collaboration during the hours of 11am-1pm ET / 8am-10am PT.
    • Experience developing fundraising and marketing collateral - including one-pagers, pitch decks, and blog content - that supports donor engagement and pipeline development is a plus.

Application Requirements:Interested candidates are required to provide the following:
  • A resume describing relevant professional experience.
  • A writing sample (4-5 pages) from a funded grant proposal that showcases your writing skills and fit for this role.
  • A brief note on your availability: Weekly hour capacity, scheduling constraints, billing structure, etc.
