POSITION SUMMARY
The Salvation Army Cascade Division is seeking a Short-Term Proposal Writer with expertise in energy conservation, sustainability, and climate-focused projects to support the Social Services Department in developing two full grant proposals for the Portland Clean Energy Fund (PCEF). This position is temporary, with an estimated duration of 60 days, and requires a self-driven professional who can work independently, meet tight deadlines, and craft compelling grant proposals aligned with PCEF’s climate justice and community equity priorities.
The successful candidate will possess a strong background in clean energy, energy efficiency, or environmental sustainability, with an emphasis on equity-focused program development. Prior experience working with nonprofits is a plus.
This role requires the ability to travel independently to visit project sites across Portland and collaborate with key stakeholders, including community partners, program directors, and subject matter experts.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Research, develop, and write two high-quality and strategic grant proposals tailored to the PCEF Community Grant opportunity.
- Analyze RFP requirements and develop a proposal framework that aligns with The Salvation Army’s mission, services, and capacity to execute clean energy and sustainability projects.
- Collaborate with program leaders, finance teams, and community partners to gather data, define project outcomes, and craft compelling narratives that highlight climate action, energy conservation, and equity-driven services.
- Develop clear, persuasive, and outcome-focused proposals that integrate GHG reduction strategies, workforce development, and sustainability initiatives.
- Ensure compliance with grant guidelines, including budget restrictions, eligibility criteria, and reporting requirements.
- Work closely with project managers to define measurable impacts, implementation strategies, and program sustainability plans.
- Translate technical concepts related to renewable energy, green infrastructure, and workforce training into accessible, engaging content.
- Identify and incorporate PCEF priority populations (e.g., low-income residents, communities of color, individuals with disabilities) into proposal strategies.
- Develop supporting materials such as logic models, project timelines, and financial projections.
- Ensure proposals are submitted on time and meet all required technical and formatting guidelines.
