About Trans Voices
Trans Voices is a grassroots organization dedicated to trans and non-binary community care. We are building a sustainable, community-first space, and we are looking for dedicated individuals to join our foundational team.
Role Overview
We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Volunteer Grant Writer & Researcher to help us secure the foundational funding needed to scale our impact. Because we are a growing grassroots collective, this is currently an unpaid, volunteer position. Our entire team is operating on a volunteer basis, with the explicit goal of transitioning this into a paid role for you and the rest of the team as soon as grant funding is secured.
What You’ll Do (Responsibilities):
• Prospecting: Research and identify local, corporate, and foundation grant opportunities that align with our mission.
• Writing: Draft, edit, and submit compelling grant proposals, letters of intent (LOIs), and applications.
• Strategy: Collaborate with our core team to translate our community programs and data into powerful storytelling for funders.
• Tracking: Maintain a calendar of deadlines and tracking requirements for submitted proposals.
What We’re Looking For (Qualifications):
• Community Alignment: Deep passion for Trans/NB community care. Ideally, candidates identify as Trans/NB themselves or fall under the broader LGBTQIA+ umbrella.
• Background: Experience or a strong background in grant writing, professional writing, or non-profit fundraising is preferred.
• Reliability: A self-starter who is deadline-driven and organized.
• Time Commitment: A flexible ~3–5 hours per week.
Why Join Us? This is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an organization doing vital work for the community. You will have creative freedom, a highly supportive team, and a direct hand in funding the future of Trans Voices.
