Contract Grant Writer (Outcomes-Focused | Remote)

Overview

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
