Grant Officer (Intern)

Public Interest Design - Levant is looking for an intern grants officer for a period 2-3 months to work in our new up and coming NGO.  Description: A grants officer is a key member of many non-profit organizations and educational institutions. They research available grants and write proposals for funds that are typically provided for specified purposes; the officer also ensures that funding is used in accordance with the grant requirements. In securing grants for an organization, the officer is expected to ensure his or her organization is eligible and make sure that all grant applications and proposals are submitted in a timely manner. Many funders require reporting by the recipient, which the grant officer also oversees. Most grant officers have a business or education administration background that includes at least a bachelor's degree and some practical experience in nonprofit organizations. The grant officer must possess outstanding written communication skills, as well as some experience in the grant proposal and application process. We are open to recruiting students that make up for their lack of experience with their motivation and dedication.
