Grant Writer

About This Role

This Grant Writer role is central to CodePath's Philanthropy Partnerships team, focusing on securing capital for courses, career support, and student outcomes. You will craft compelling proposals and reports for national foundations and corporate partners, translating program data, student achievements, and organizational strategy into successful commitments. The role also involves building repeatable processes, writing frameworks, and AI-enabled workflows to enhance the team's efficiency and allow them to focus on strategy and judgment.

Responsibilities

• Lead or support major grant proposals, concepts, and letters of inquiry from prospecting through submission, meeting all funder guidelines and submission requirements
• Translate CodePath's mission, programs, and impact into compelling, consistent narratives for team use
• Research, synthesize, and translate program data into funder-facing briefs, proposals, and supporting materials
• Build frameworks and narratives to equip account owners for complex, high-value opportunities
• Serve as lead or supporting writer on major funder reports
• Equip account owners with narratives, data, and frameworks for complex funder reports and high-value relationships
• Proactively manage funder portal accounts, submission calendars, and organizational credentials
• Keep internal grant management systems (e.g., Asana) current
• Build and maintain a shared library of reusable narrative assets (program descriptions, boilerplate language, proof points)
• Support fundraisers with ad-hoc narrative development
• Collaborate with other departments (e.g., Finance, Delivery, Higher Education, and Data) to collect and translate data, program updates, and student stories into funder-facing narratives
• Supply narrative inputs, source content, program context, data, and proof points for donor-facing assets
• Use AI tools to improve proposal, report, and asset creation
• Track fast-moving organizational developments and impact metrics to keep fundraising materials current and accurate
• Develop and maintain proposal templates, writing frameworks, reusable assets, and funder-specific approaches
• Document writing patterns and organizational knowledge to improve AI-assisted drafting and automate routine work, while maintaining quality, accuracy, and a consistent CodePath voice

Requirements

• 5–7 years writing for institutional and corporate funders (proposals, letters of inquiry, and funder reports)
• Experience building with AI, not just writing with it, including documenting recurring work, streamlining with AI tools, and handing the result to others
• Ability to perform data synthesis by engaging with data and finance teams, asking questions, and translating information into accurate narratives
