Working in close partnership with the Director of Development & Communications, this position helps HDA secure grant funding, steward donors, and tell the story of its mission to build affordable, high-quality housing and stronger communities in our Eastern Kentucky counties. This is a hands-on, production-focused role for a strong writer and organized project manager who can move fluidly between researching grants, drafting proposals, creating social media content, managing donor records, and supporting events. The Specialist helps ensure that deadlines are met, messaging stays consistent, donors are thanked promptly, and HDA's work is visible across all communication channels. Success in this role is measured by timely and well-prepared grant submissions, consistent and compelling communications output, accurate development records, and responsive, meaningful donor engagement. Core Responsibilities 1. Grants & Institutional Funding Support

Research federal, state, and private foundation grant opportunities aligned with HDA's mission
Draft, format, and assemble grant proposals, narratives, budgets, and supporting materials under the direction of the Director
Maintain the grants calendar, tracking application deadlines, reporting requirements, and funding commitments

Create and schedule social media content across HDA's platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X), including graphics, photos, and captions
Draft newsletters, blog/news posts, homeowner and impact stories, and email appeals
Assist in producing print and digital materials such as flyers, brochures, one-pagers, and campaign assets
Help maintain and update the HDA website with current, mission-aligned content
Capture and organize photos and video from job sites, events, and volunteer groups for storytelling use 4. Campaign & Event Support
Support the execution of fundraising campaigns, including content, tracking, and donor communications
Assist with planning and logistics for events such as groundbreakings, ribbon cuttings, volunteer weeks, and celebrations
Prepare invitations, media advisories, press packets, and follow-up communications
Coordinate event materials, signage, and on-site needs 5. Data, Reporting & Administrative Coordination
Track communications and fundraising metrics and help compile them into reports
Maintain organized digital files for photos, templates, stories, and campaign materials
Support the production of HDA's annual report by gathering data, drafting content, and coordinating design elements
Help ensure accuracy and consistency across documents, applications, and published materials 6. Cross-Functional Collaboration

How This Role Supports the Department This position is intentionally designed to complement, not duplicate, the Director of Development & Communications.

While the Director sets fundraising strategy, leads major-gift and media relationships, and shapes HDA's overall messaging and brand, the Grants & Communications Specialist carries much of the execution and production — writing, content creation, donor stewardship, data management, and deadline tracking — that keeps the department running smoothly and allows the Director to focus on strategy and growth.
