We are expanding our grant-writing team and are seeking experienced Grant Writers who can identify funding opportunities, develop compelling proposals, and help clients pursue grants and other non-dilutive funding.

Position Overview

The Grant Writer will research grant opportunities and develop high-quality funding proposals for eligible businesses, nonprofits, community organizations, and other clients.

The ideal candidate understands that successful grant writing involves more than simply completing an application. You will be expected to research funders, understand their priorities, develop persuasive narratives, align client projects with funding criteria, and manage proposal deadlines.

Key Responsibilities

• Research federal, state, local, corporate, and private foundation grant opportunities.
• Identify funding opportunities that align with client programs and organizational missions.
• Review grant guidelines, eligibility requirements, priorities, and allowable expenses.
• Develop compelling grant narratives, letters of inquiry, applications, budgets, and supporting materials.
• Interview clients and gather information necessary to develop competitive proposals.
• Translate client programs and ideas into clear, funder-focused narratives.
• Maintain a pipeline of potential funding opportunities.
• Track application deadlines and submission requirements.
• Assist with grant calendars and funding strategies.
• Edit and proofread proposals for accuracy, clarity, and consistency.
• Conduct research using government, foundation, corporate, and other reliable funding databases.
• Maintain organized records of proposals, applications, funders, and outcomes.
• Follow up on submitted applications when appropriate.
• Work collaboratively with Mac Productions staff and clients.

Qualifications

Required:

• Demonstrated grant-writing experience.
• Strong research and writing skills.
• Excellent grammar, editing, and proofreading ability.
• Ability to interpret detailed grant guidelines.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills.
• Ability to meet deadlines independently.
• Strong communication and client-interviewing skills.
• Ability to research funding opportunities using online databases and government/foundation resources.

Preferred:

• Experience writing successful federal, state, municipal, foundation, or corporate grant proposals.
• Experience with nonprofit organizations and 501(c)(3) organizations.
• Experience with grants for small businesses or entrepreneurs.
• Familiarity with Grants.gov and government funding portals.
• Experience developing grant budgets.
• Experience with economic development, workforce development, community development, education, healthcare, housing, technology, or social-service grants.
• Existing relationships with nonprofit or business organizations are a plus.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who can:

Research → Strategize → Write → Submit → Follow Up

You should be comfortable taking a client’s goals and turning them into a structured funding strategy.

Strong candidates will demonstrate the ability to find opportunities that are actually relevant to a client’s eligibility, rather than simply producing a list of grants.

Compensation

This is a performance-based independent contractor opportunity.

Compensation will be based on the role performed, client assignments, and successful funding outcomes, according to the applicable Mac Productions compensation structure.

Candidates should understand that grant awards are determined by independent funders and no grant award is guaranteed.

• Opportunity to work with businesses and nonprofits across multiple markets
• Access to a growing client base
