This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll partner closely with our Development Director and work across Development, Education, and Finance. From identifying opportunities to submitting proposals and managing reporting, you’ll be involved in every step of the grant lifecycle.
We’re looking for someone who is curious, organized, and proactive, someone who can connect the dots between funding, programs, and impact, and who is motivated by the opportunity to support hands-on STEAM education.
