Grant Writer

If you've been looking to join a fast-growing startup with a bold vision, exciting challenges and the opportunity to make a genuine difference in the world, you've found the right place.

Backed by General Catalyst, the investors behind companies like Stripe and Airbnb, we're building something extraordinary.

At Goodstack, our mission is to revolutionize how the world does good. We envision a world where doing good is built into everything we do.

As a fast-growing, AI-native social impact startup, we're building the technology and infrastructure that connects businesses and good causes, making it easier to give, grow and create meaningful impact at scale.

We do this in two ways:

• Goodstack for Business helps some of the world's leading companies power their social impact programmes.

• Goodstack for Causes helps nonprofits access the funding, technology and resources they need to thrive.

And we're already making a difference:

• $11 billion in donations facilitated since 2022.

• Over 13 million mission-driven organisations in the world's largest verified database.

• 500,000+ nonprofits on our platform, with thousands more joining every week.

• Trusted by global companies including Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, Open AI, Canva, TikTok and Airbnb, alongside nonprofits such as the Red Cross, Cancer Research UK and Oxfam.

We're entering an exciting new chapter: evolving beyond software into an AI-native business that delivers meaningful outcomes for businesses and nonprofits worldwide.

By combining AI, automation and human expertise, we're building a future where companies can manage global giving programmes more seamlessly, and nonprofits can access funding faster and more efficiently.

Our ambition is bold, and the challenges are complex. We're looking for curious, ambitious and AI-native thinkers who take ownership, challenge assumptions and use technology creatively to solve meaningful problems.

That's where you come in 🫵

We’re looking for an exceptionally thoughtful, detail-driven Grant Writer to lead high-quality grant research, writing and review for our nonprofit partners.

You’ll help nonprofits access more funding, faster – identifying relevant opportunities, shaping strong applications and making sure every draft is accurate, compelling and genuinely useful.

If you have a strong grant writing background, enjoy turning complex programme information into clear funding narratives, and want your work to support organisations doing meaningful social impact work, this could be the perfect role for you.

• Research funding opportunities: Identify, evaluate and curate relevant grants tailored to each organisation’s mission, programmes, eligibility and funding needs.

• Draft excellent applications: Write compelling LOIs, grant applications and supporting narratives aligned to funder requirements.

• Use AI to increase quality and pace: Confidently prompt, guide and review AI-assisted outputs to accelerate research, drafting and iteration without compromising accuracy, judgement or tone.

• Act as lead expert reviewer: Review drafts so they are accurate, persuasive, funder-ready and easy for nonprofits to use.

• Manage delivery: Balance pace, quality and care across multiple partner relationships, keeping work moving and expectations clear.

• Build deep context: Work closely with around 25–30 nonprofit partners at any given time, understanding their goals, programmes and impact.

• Improve how we work: Help strengthen our grant support process so we can serve more nonprofits well, without compromising quality.

• Producing high-quality grant drafts at a consistent pace.

• Nonprofit partners feel supported, understood, and confident in the work they receive.

• Funding opportunities are well-matched, relevant, and clearly explained.

• AI is used thoughtfully to improve speed, consistency, and quality.

• Drafts are accurate, thoughtful, and tailored to each funder.

• Risks, blockers, or deadline concerns are raised early.

• Our grant support process becomes clearer, stronger, and easier to scale.

• 5 years’ grant writing experience, ideally for nonprofits, charities or mission-led organisations.

• Understanding of funding landscapes, eligibility criteria, funder priorities and what makes a proposal competitive.

• Ability to turn rough context into specific, persuasive, funder-ready narratives.

• Confidence using AI tools to support research, drafting, editing and quality assurance, and know where human judgement must lead.

• Ability to take responsibility, communicate early, and enjoy building in a fast-moving environment.

• Attention to detail; Deadlines, geographic nuances, funding restrictions and structural requirements do not slip past you.

• Partner-first communication; You combine warmth, clarity, and sound judgement in every interaction.

• Process discipline; Enjoy clear systems, well-managed workflows, and making the slightly messy feel beautifully organised.

• A degree from a recognised university, or equivalent evidence of strong analytical thinking.

• Nonprofit fundraising, philanthropy or corporate social impact.

• Tea drinking 🫖
