ABOUT ASHLEY|ROUNTREE & ASSOCIATES
As the region's leading provider of consulting services for nonprofit organizations, the mission of Ashley|Rountree and Associates is to assist nonprofit organizations in growing philanthropy and achieving self-sustainability to help the communities we serve become better places for all who live and work in them. The work we do is instilled in our values: collaboration, sustainable growth, allyship, impact and ethical practices.
The firm is currently comprised of a leadership team of 9 and 40 consultants/contractors. Ashley|Rountree continues to grow and diversify its offerings to the nonprofit community locally, regionally, and nationally. The company has five divisions each with its own Vice President and Associate VP and many consultants who have direct nonprofit expertise: Capital Campaigns, Fundraising Solutions, Grants, Talent & Leadership, and Marketing & Communications. We are currently seeking additional grant writers who serve on a contract basis.
Grant Division Summary

We dedicate a team member to prospect research for each client, and colleagues frequently collaborate to share expertise or meet tight deadlines. If you have a critical question or need assistance, a colleague is available to share expertise or lend a hand. You'll enjoy schedule flexibility, meaningful work, and the backing of a trusted firm with deep nonprofit experience.
Key Responsibilities

  • Support development of clear, fundable project budgets.
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and research skills.
  • Deep knowledge of the grants life cycle-from prospect research through final reporting.
  • Organized, detail-oriented approach to managing multiple tasks and deadlines.
  • Proactive, deadline-driven, responsive, and adaptive with a flexible mindset.
  • Familiarity with grants databases and online application platforms (e.g., Foundation Directory, GrantStation, Grants.gov).
  • For long-term clients, maintain a comprehensive grants calendar, track proposals through stewardship, and provide ongoing guidance on grant strategy and best practices.

Education and Experience
  • Bachelor's degree preferred; CFRE certification is a plus.
  • At least 5-years experience of federal experience
  • Demonstrated experience writing successful proposals to government entities (local, state, or national).
  • Demonstrated experience with regional markets we serve, ensuring familiarity with regional priorities and funding landscapes. Our market includes, but is not limited to, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio & Tennessee.
  • Knowledge of nonprofit operations; prior professional experience in the nonprofit sector is strongly preferred.

Other requirements:
  • Responsiveness to new grant opportunities, client requests for organizational information, and ongoing communication through A|R email and Teams notifications is essential.
  • Must adhere to client grant deadlines and submit in a timely manner.
  • Completion of Company monthly timesheets and grant report documents.
