Role Description

Primary Responsibilities

• Grant Research & Pipeline Building: Identify and evaluate national and international grant opportunities aligned to Bhumi's unrestricted-funding priorities (capacity building, tech, op-ex); track RFPs and funding trends to keep a live pipeline.
• Proposal Development & Writing: Partner with program teams to write clear, compelling, funder-ready proposals — narrative, budget, and impact metrics — that meet each funder's eligibility and format requirements.
• Grant Lifecycle & Compliance Management: Own the full lifecycle from application to closeout: track deadlines, manage submissions, and maintain accurate, up-to-date records in Bhumi's grants database/CRM.
• Donor Reporting: Prepare timely, accurate progress reports for each funder, in full compliance with donor requirements.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with program and M&E teams to gather inputs, verify impact data, and keep proposals and reports anchored in real project outcomes.

• 1-3 years of experience in grant research, grant writing, fundraising, or nonprofit fund development.
• Prior volunteering experience with Bhumi or a similar organization is a plus.

Requirements

• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to translate complex program information into a persuasive narrative.
• Detail-oriented, with solid organizational and project-management habits.
