Contract Grant Writer (Outcomes-Focused | Remote)
Job DetailsOverview
CK Family Services (CKFS) is seeking an experienced Contract Grant Writer who excels at precision, structure, and sustained focus to support diversified, long-term funding for mission-critical programs serving children and families.
This role is best suited for a professional who values accuracy over speed, depth over volume, and getting it right the first time. Grant funding at CKFS is treated as strategic capital, not transactional revenue.
This is a remote, part-time, project-based contract role with opportunity for ongoing engagement based on performance.
What This Role Is (Important)
A writing-intensive, detail-driven role
Requires extended independent focus
Involves complex narratives, compliance, and outcomes alignment
Emphasizes quality, consistency, and correctness
Minimal meetings; high expectation of self-directed execution
If you prefer fast-paced coordination, frequent check-ins, or high social interaction, this role is not a fit.
Key Responsibilities
Grant Development & Writing
Write clear, structured, and compelling grant narratives grounded in data and measurable outcomes
Translate complex service models (child welfare, behavioral health, foster care) into funder-ready proposals
Develop letters of intent, full proposals, and narrative sections with close attention to requirements and scoring criteria
Accuracy, Compliance & Alignment
Ensure submissions fully comply with funder instructions, formatting, and documentation requirements
Align proposals tightly with CKFS strategy, outcomes, and budgets
Maintain internal consistency across narratives, logic models, and attachments
Research & Preparation
Review funder guidelines, RFPs, and scoring rubrics thoroughly before drafting
Integrate impact data, historical performance, and predictive indicators into proposals
Coordinate required inputs (budgets, outcomes, attachments) with internal stakeholders as needed
Post-Submission Support
Maintain organized records of submissions and funder requirements
Support reporting or follow-up narratives when requested
QualificationsIdeal Candidate Profile
This role is a strong fit if you:
Have a proven track record of successful grant writing for nonprofits or public agencies
Are comfortable working independently for extended periods
Prefer clear expectations and defined requirements
Take pride in accuracy, completeness, and structure
Are methodical, organized, and detail-oriented
Work best when allowed to focus deeply with minimal interruption
Are comfortable with faith-informed organizations that operate in a non-discriminatory manner
Experience in child welfare, behavioral health, foster care, or human services is strongly preferred but not required if comparable outcomes can be demonstrated.
What We Will Ask For
Shortlisted candidates may be asked to provide:
One grant writing sample (proposal section, narrative, or LOI; redactions acceptable)
A brief summary of funded grants you have contributed to
One to two professional references
Contract Details
Independent Contractor (1099)
Part-time, project-based engagement
Competitive compensation based on experience
Fully remote
