Director of Grant Writing - Denver, United States - Community Economic Defense Project
Description
About the Community Economic Defense Project (CEDP) & CED Law
Our Mission
We partner with low-income and working people to build economic and racial equity. We do this by confronting economic abuse and investing in community wealth. We use an ever-evolving set of legal, economic and advocacy tools to challenge and dismantle unjust systems, building quickly towards a world where all people have what they need to live and thrive.
Our Organization
The Community Economic Defense Project (CEDP) is a Colorado-based nonprofit. Launched in 2020 as the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project, our organization was formed to keep our neighbors housed during the pandemic. Working with clients, we built a "one-stop-shop" approach to eviction, foreclosure, and homelessness prevention that centers the legal and financial needs of housing-insecure families and uses a variety of tools to keep them housed.
Our team now serves more than 1,000 people per month, bringing together housing lawyers, economists, data analysts, policy-experts, organizers, and technologists to serve our clients. In the previous two years, we have distributed more than $100 million in aid and served more than 40,000 Coloradans. We have also contributed to the passage of major legislation to prevent eviction, stop economic abuse, and make credit and life-saving medication cheaper. CEDP's model has been cited as a best practice by the White House, HUD, the Urban Institute, and in the media.
Building on our work to stop evictions, CEDP has further expanded its integrated services model to include disaster response, predatory towing, debt collection, benefit access & navigation, long-term rental assistance, and homelessness response. Similar to CEDP's work on rental housing, these efforts offer a continuum of care that includes navigation and advisory services, targeted payments, legal support, and the ability to participate in advocacy.
More about the Director of Grant Writing Role:
The Director of Grant Writing is a member of the Strategy Team and manages the proposals and processes that keep CEDP funded to advance its mission. The Director is responsible for researching, preparing, submitting, and managing funding proposals/reports - including nonprofit grants, government procurements, and other contracts - that support CEDP goals and meet funder guidelines and criteria. This person serves as the primary writer for grants and public procurements, manages the relationship cultivation process with funders, engages in compliance reporting, and supports special project initiatives. This position requires strong writing, data analysis, program budgeting, outcome measurement, and project management skills.
