Educational Grant Writer Job at West Place Animal Sanctuary in Tiverton

Overview

Join to apply for the Educational Grant Writer role at West Place Animal Sanctuary.

Founded in 2007, West Place Animal Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides lifesaving care, love, and a permanent home to farm animals rescued from cases of abuse, neglect, and cruelty. It is a licensed wildlife rehabilitation center that assists sick, injured, and orphaned animals, and releases healthy wildlife back into their natural habitats. It also serves as the lost dog shelter for the towns of Tiverton and Little Compton. West Place has a network of 75+ volunteers, who provide essential animal care 365 days a year, and the organization provides unique hands-on humane education experiences to students to cultivate a more compassionate community.

We run a robust workforce educational internship program for high school and college students, allowing them to get hands-on experience they cannot get anywhere else. We run both a summer session and school-year session and host about 75 students each year. This program changes lives and is very in demand. We are seeking educational grant writers because we keep this program FREE to all students but it costs us a significant portion of our budget to fund this. Grant writers will help us support this vital and important program.

This can be a virtual opportunity, though you are also welcome to volunteer on site at 3198 Main Road, Tiverton, RI 02878. Grant writers will work with the Executive Director.
