Volunteer Opportunity Details: |
|
We are looking for a self-motivated volunteer who likes to seize the initiative by starting projects and continuing them until their conclusion. We would like this person to provide us with a clear picture of who they are, what they are passionate about and how they would like to contribute to our mission. It would be advantageous for this volunteer to have relevant credentials and personal knowledge and/or experience in writing grants and finding foundations. However, we are willing to take into consideration their willingness to learn and adapt into a new role.
Upon acceptance, we will provide you with a specific set of responsibilities that will help you gain priceless insight into the real-time workings of a young, global NGO. As an AfA Volunteer, you will have the opportunity to see firsthand the vital role that art plays in the lives of communities that we serve. In return, you will also be in a unique position to show off your skills, talents and expertise to us. This way, your experience can be mutually beneficial, and you will feel that you can grow with us in the weeks and months of your work with us.
Your work will have direct impact on the entire organization; therefore, your weekly reports will be sent to Artfully AWARE’s Executive Team based out of both the United States and The United Kingdom. You will be in continuous contact with Hilary Wallis, AfA Executive Director.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Your main objectives and targets will involve learning the process of researching, identifying and writing grants on behalf of Artfully AWARE in order to help fund the programs and activities we offer in the United States and abroad.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Familiarizing yourself with AfA’s programs, projects and services.• Gaining access to The Foundation Center’s library in New York City.
• Taking available training courses, if needed, in order to learn the process of grant writing. Workshops provided by the Foundation Center are either free or paid for by Artfully AWARE.
• Researching and identifying foundations and grant providers based out of the US that would be relevant to AfA’s mission and vision.
• Selecting appropriate grant schemes and applications.
• Working with members of AfA’s Executive Team in application writing, budget creation and submission.
• Creating a workable database of all foundations and grant providers that have been looked into and/or applied for.
NEXT STEP
Please write to Hilary Wallis and request a Volunteer Form. This is a great way for us to get to know you and your background. We look forward to hearing from you!
