Adapting to these challenges can enhance efficiency and improve the quality of your proposals. With strong organization and proactive communication, part-time Proposal Writers can successfully contribute to winning business for their teams.

Who We Are:
Trust for Public Land (TPL) is the leader of a movement to connect everyone in America to the outdoors. A national nonprofit, TPL partners with communities to create high-quality parks and protect public lands-especially in communities that need them most-to improve public health, create social cohesion, strengthen historic and cultural connection to place, and increase climate resilience. Since 1972, TPL has protected more than 4 million acres of public land, created more than 5,500 parks, trails, schoolyards, and iconic outdoor places, generated over $112 billion in public funding for parks and public lands, and connected nearly 10 million people to the outdoors. To learn more, visit tpl.org.
"For over 50 years, Trust for Public Land has been working tirelessly towards our vision that every individual should have close-to-home access to the benefits of nature. In today's world, our land-for-people solutions are even more relevant than ever. Quality parks and natural spaces are a fundamental requirement for sustaining healthy, equitable communities that are resilient and prepared for change. Parks and public lands connect us to each other and to the outdoors. As we enter our fifth decade, we have much to celebrate and even more promising work to pursue. We are a vibrant organization with a new CEO and a new strategic plan that builds on our success. Join us to become part of a growing and forward-thinking team focused on growing our philanthropic partnerships to ensure healthy, livable communities for generations to come."

Essential Functions:
  • Write, revise, and edit (without the use of AI) grant proposals, grant renewals, and grant reports for foundations and corporations interested in supporting TPL, with a focus on TPL's work in California. (75%)
  • Work with relationship managers and project and program staff to conceptualize and refine written materials. (10%)

  • Skilled at gathering and consolidating information from a variety of sources (both people and written material) to create cohesive and compelling written pieces.
  • Ability to write succinctly, following word and character count requirements.
  • Ability to project manage and function effectively as a member of a team, ensuring close coordination and integration with other staff members.
  • Proven track record of meeting deadlines and deliverables with quick turnarounds.
  • Experience and proficiency using Microsoft 365.
  • Experience working in a Customer Relations Management (CRM) database a plus.
  • Interest in philanthropy.
  • Strong commitment to TPL's shared values (Belonging, Creativity, Collaboration, Impact, and Hope) to effectively work across the organization.
Compensation:
Trust for Public Land is a hybrid work environment, and this role will ideally be located near a Trust for Public Land office but can also be done remotely. As a temporary, part-time employee, you may be eligible for sick pay and a personal day, prorated for hours worked. We also offer a 403(b)-retirement plan, currently with an up to 7% company match. We offer competitive salaries commensurate with experience; the anticipated hiring range for this position is $40-$50/hr. The expected duration of this temporary role is 1 year with the ability to be extended if business needs require.
Trust for Public Land's active goal is to be an inclusive and equitable place to work and build community. As the organization actively works to eliminate racial and other disparities it welcomes candidates with diverse backgrounds and/or multicultural skillsets. We are open to the possibility that a great candidate for this job may not precisely meet all the above criteria; if you believe you are the right person for this job and can persuasively make that case, we encourage you to apply.
