Volunteer: Grant Writer or Researcher to Support Funding for Refugee and Migrant Programs

This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections.

• Use platforms like Foundation Directory to identify aligned funders
• Research eligibility, deadlines, and fit
• Draft or support the writing of compelling grant applications
• Help maintain a working list of submissions, templates, and funder profiles

Creshendo works to break cycles of marginalization by co-creating programs with migrant and displaced communities. As funding for refugee-focused work becomes more scarce, especially in the U.S. and Europe, strong grant strategy has never been more important. Your research and writing will help ensure our work continues — not just for one cycle, but as a sustainable, long-term solution. You’ll be helping communities tell their stories, build opportunity, and access the support they deserve.

You’ll be onboarded by our Executive Director or Grants Lead and given full access to our shared drive of proposals, templates, and funder notes. For the weeks we'll be working together, we’ll meet regularly or communicate via shared tools (whatever works best for your style), and you’ll have a team ready to implement what you help us build. We’re organized, proactive, and looking for someone who can add structure and insight to what we’ve already started.

Creshendo Mission: Creshendo’s mission is to empower displaced populations by fostering their integration and self-reliance. Through specialized programs and support services, we equip them with the tools, knowledge, and resources to navigate new environments, advocate for their needs, and achieve their aspirations.
