About the Role
By 2030, our organization will reach 10 million farm families annually. This growth will be fueled by fundraising, and at One Acre Fund our fundraising relies on industry-leading grant writing.
We employ a dedicated 14-person writing squad within our broader Business Development team to craft proposals and reports that are clear, data-driven, and farmer-centric. We now seek to expand this team by hiring new proven and passionate writers interested in a long-term career with One Acre Fund.
In this role, you will report to one of our senior writers and immediately take on a portfolio of reports and proposals for smaller grants. Following a period of intensive writing mentorship over the first 6-12 months, your work will then quickly ramp up in value, complexity, and independence.
Responsibilities
Write grant reports and proposals. Our writing team drafts hundreds of deliverables each year about One Acre Fund’s work and customers, with emphasis on clear prose, clean structure, hard data, and farmer perspectives. This is a backend role; you will partner with our frontend fundraisers to tailor each piece to each donor through a collaborative drafting process.
Manage complex projects. We expect writers to “own” all stages of a writing project, with support from colleagues and team leadership. You will set and manage timelines, coordinate input from multiple teams, and ensure error-free work, typically for 2-3 overlapping projects at any one time.
Invest in program fluency*.* To be effective, writers must develop and sustain a deep working knowledge of One Acre Fund’s operating context, model, results, and future plans. For individual projects, you will also often conduct additional research into potential donors or specific aspects of our work.
Qualifications
Across all roles, these are the general qualifications we look for. For this role specifically, you will have:
Bachelor’s degree
2-5+ years of professional writing experience, with strong preference for past experience in grant writing
Can share 2 writing samples that demonstrate ability to write concise, well-structured, jargon-free prose – you will be prompted to submit these alongside your application
Can share concrete examples of having successfully led complex projects with multiple stakeholders
Genuine commitment to rural communities. You are passionate about providing opportunity to the hardest-working farmers on the planet.
