GRANT DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR

Tuition-Service Partnership Warrior Temple Island University Fort Lauderdale, Florida Warrior Temple Island University is seeking a strong writer, researcher, and highly organized professional to serve as our Grant Development Coordinator through an ongoing part-time Tuition-Service Partnership. Warrior Temple Island University helps children and adults build confidence, discipline, self-trust, safety awareness, leadership, and wise decision-making under pressure — even when no one is watching. The Grant Development Coordinator helps build the funding pipeline that can expand that work. This person will identify qualified funding opportunities, organize required information, prepare strong applications, maintain critical deadlines, and help connect the Temple's real work, measurable outcomes, and future vision with funders whose priorities genuinely align with our mission.

Maintain an organized grant calendar containing deadlines, requirements, submission dates, decisions, and reporting obligations. Prepare letters of inquiry, application drafts, program summaries, organizational narratives, and supporting materials. Gather approved documents, outcomes, budgets, biographies, statistics, and program information required for submissions. Coordinate with the Program Director to ensure applications accurately represent the Temple's capacity, mission, programs, and intended use of funds. Maintain a reusable library of approved grant language, supporting documents, program data, and prior submissions. Track submitted applications and support required reporting when funding is awarded. The Grant Development Coordinator will not independently submit applications, sign certifications, establish budgets, promise outcomes, accept funding conditions, release confidential information, or financially obligate Warrior Temple Island University. All final applications, budgets, representations, commitments, and submissions require approval from the Program Director.

The responsibility is clear:
