Department of Clients Services
Benvenuti Arts is seeking an experienced Grant Writer to join our team. The Grant Writer will report to the Associate Director of Consulting Services under the Client Services department.
Specific responsibilities will include:
- Writing grants in an efficient and timely manner, and collaborating with Consultants to ensure complete, well-written assignments are shared with clients;
- Participating in the creation and maintenance of Boilerplate language for clients;
- Maintaining active communications with fellow team members (as soon as possible turnaround) via Slack, email, Asana, and other softwares;
- Research around fundraising prospects, strategies, and other administrative needs the client might have as it pertains to grant writing and reporting;
- Attending monthly Staff meetings, Department meetings, educational trainings and other gatherings including Company Retreat;
- Other needs as they arise.
At Benvenuti Arts, it’s important that our staff members approach each client relationship individually, finding solutions for them that fit their unique needs and situation. In working with small and mighty arts organizations, we seek to find creative opportunities that make the most of their limited time and resources. Therefore, our Grant Writer must be inquisitive, creative, flexible, and show great initiative in how they interact with their Associate Consultant or Consultant to advise our clients.
While we are open to a variety of different backgrounds, an ideal candidate would have:
- 3 to 5 years experience working in an arts organization (regional theater, community theater, arts administration, etc.) in any capacity (does not have to be grant writing);
- Grant writing experience for fundraising opportunities;
- Knowledge of art forms/disciplines and nonprofit organization structures;
- An ability to multitask and self-identify prioritites;
- An ability to maintain organization in multi-user project management platforms such as Asana;
- A natural inclination to “self start”;
- An ability to work independently, while still part of a team; and
- A clear commitment to the values of Benvenuti Arts and a passion for small arts organizations across the world.
This position is Part-Time Contractor status, with the possibility of moving to an employee status in the future. We are currently on a plan to raise pay rates through 2026. We are a fully remote company, so the Grant Writer must be prepared to manage their own schedule and coordinate with team members working in different time zones.
This position offers:
- Pay of $22/hour as a contractor, which will be sent every 2 weeks.
- 10 – 15 hours/week starting schedule.
- A start date June 1, 2025, but we are open to negotiating this date.
To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and two grant writing samples in an email to Executive Assistant Paengsuda (Suda) Panyatham, at suda@benvenutiarts.com with the subject line “Grant Writer Application.” Benvenuti Arts will accept applications until May 8, 2025. Interviews will take place between May 1 and May 30, 2025. We anticipate a two-interview process. First round interviews will be with Deputy Director Julie Hord, Associate Director of Education Candace Tabbs, and Manager of Membership Programming Alicia Olivo. Anyone interviewed but not hired will be paid $22/interview for their time. Those who advance to the second round of interviewing will be required to complete a one-hour writing exercise under BA staff supervision, for which they will also be paid for their time. Prep materials for the exercise will be sent ahead of time.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
