Our goal is to recruit a team of volunteers from around the US (multiple time zones), who are interested in supporting our nonprofit by researching prospective grant funders. Here are our goals:

• Experience is NOT needed.

• We are seeking volunteers who can contribute 2 to 4 hours a week (researching) and 1 hour a week by joining our virtual grants team meeting.

• 1-year minimum commitment

• Good writing and grammar is needed

• Must be comfortable researching virtually
  

A question often asked is will I get to write grants?

Here is our approach and our why: As the volunteers complete researching around two dozen grants (around the 3rd month) often the grant researcher (volunteer) may want to help more and begin to write a portion of a grant on behalf of Betwixt and Between. For those that are interested and ready, writing will be discussed (writing for a letter of introduction, a letter of interest, a letter of inquiry, or part and or all of the grant submission). If a Grant researcher volunteer has prior experience or shows exceptional research/writing, this timeline may be adjusted by the Executive Director. Note: We typically require a minimum of 12 grants to be researched, as we want those who write for us to truly understand how we implement our mission and our collective impact. Your passion for our work needs to show through your research and writing.

If you enjoy research or writing, we need you!
