Come Work for a Wonderful Non-Profit Company in Central Pennsylvania!
We are looking for an experienced full-time Grant Writer to work with Central Pennsylvania Food Bank (CPFB) to identify and develop funding sources and write grants to support existing and planned program activities through prospect research, cross-departmental collaboration, and grant proposal submission. The position is also responsible for collecting, analyzing, and reporting data on the performance of program activities as they relate to funded grants. Further, special and one-time projects are conducted based on need of the organization or as directed.
Our Commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging:
Hunger disproportionately harms neighbors and communities that have been systemically marginalized. As we work toward a future where no one in central Pennsylvania lives with hunger, we must also work against racism and other systemic obstacles that prevent people from thriving. We will listen to and learn from members of historically under-represented groups. We will value their lived expertise and experiences as we shape our charitable food network to equitably meet the needs of our neighbors. We will ensure that our diverse community is reflected in our board of directors, management, staff, volunteers, partner organizations, and donors in a manner that upholds equity, inclusion, and belonging.
