Job Description

Manager of Foundation Relations/Grant Writer (NWLC) Posted on December 18, 2019 The Position The National Women’s Law Center seeks two (2) talented and experienced grant writers to join its Development team as Managers of Foundation Relations. The Managers of Foundation Relations will support foundation fundraising efforts across all of the Center’s program areas, including reproductive rights and health, income security and child care, and workplace justice, and will serve as a key member of a development team that is expanding networks of and deepening relationships with individual, corporate, law firm, and foundation donors for this leading women’s rights organization. The Organization The National Women’s Law Center fights for gender justice — in the courts, in public policy, and in our society — working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls. We use the law in all its forms to change culture and drive solutions to the gender inequity that shapes our society and to break down the barriers that harm all of us — especially those who face multiple forms of discrimination, including women of color, LGBTQ people, and low-income women and families. For more than 45 years, we have been on the leading edge of every major legal and policy victory for women, and we need you with us to continue this fight. Responsibilities Develop detailed proposals and reports for the Center’s foundation funders across the Center’s program areas, in collaboration with the Director of Foundation Engagement and key program area and communications/marketing staff.

Track project/program activities and expenses in collaboration with the Director of Foundation Engagement, Vice President for Development, program staff, and finance staff. Maintain and track pertinent foundation outreach—including cultivations, solicitations, and other activities—in Raiser’s Edge and other tracking systems. Directly manage a portfolio of foundation funders. Engage in grant stewardship, cultivation, and regular communications with foundation staff. Engage in foundation prospect research and cultivation. Under the direction of the Director of Foundation Engagement and in collaboration with the Vice President for Development and colleagues in Finance, assist in developing and monitoring the Center’s annual and longer-term revenue plan and the Development department’s annual budget as they relate to foundation support. Engage in other duties as assigned.

Additional preferred skills and knowledge: Experience with Law Center issues (e.g., child care access, income security and public benefit programs, workplace justice, education), or other issues related to gender justice, racial justice, reproductive justice or LGBTQ+ equality. Collaborative style, combined with the ability and desire to work in a team-based environment; Key Relations The Manager of Foundation Relations will report directly to the Director of Foundation Engagement.
