Grant Writer for Agricultural Project

Job ID: 39592738

Budget: $50 – $70 USD

I am looking to hire an experienced grant writer to assist our nonprofit in securing foundation grants to fund the development of a sustainable agricultural site. We have secured a 20-year lease on undeveloped land, which we plan to transform into a productive greenhouse operation to provide fresh vegetables to local nonprofits, food banks, and community outreach programs.

Key Requirements:
- Expertise in writing and researching foundation grant applications
- Ability to conduct a thorough needs assessment and justification
- Craft a compelling project description and implementation plan
- Experience in submitting grant applications and understanding foundation criteria

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proven track record in successful grant writing for nonprofits
- Strong research skills to identify potential funding opportunities
- Excellent written communication and attention to detail
- Familiarity with agricultural or environmental projects is a plus

The grant funding sought is between $125,000 to $150,000, which will be used for critical site preparation and infrastructure development, including power installation, water well, parking lot, greenhouse infrastructure, and an efficient irrigation system. These elements are crucial for launching a sustainable, high-yield greenhouse operation to support food-insecure individuals and families in our region.

If you have any questions or need further details, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration.
