We are seeking a passionate and experienced grant writer to help us secure funding for our programs that serve court-designated victims, support restorative justice practices, and advocate for community-based alternatives to incarceration. With recent reductions in public funding for court-impacted individuals, this work is more urgent than ever.

Tasks we hope you’ll assist with:

Identify and research grant opportunities that align with our mission and work (particularly foundations or funders that prioritize racial justice, victim advocacy, and restorative justice).
Draft and/or edit a compelling general-purpose grant proposal template we can adapt for future applications.
Help us complete at least one active grant application during the project period.
Review our existing program descriptions and outcomes to highlight fundable strengths and impact areas.
If time allows, help develop a simple grants calendar or system for tracking upcoming opportunities.

This will help by making our non profit more sustainable

We already created and listed grant we can apply too.

Organization Mission

Our mission is to transform misconceptions around public safety by truly listening to the wishes of victims of crime—since they know best what justice means to them. Through legal representation, mediation, and community support, we aim to address the notoriously low satisfaction rates with the criminal justice system among victims by providing options that empower victims, defendants, and communities to confront the actual root causes of harm. Rather than seeking punitive measures that our clients do not desire and which often lead to further pain for all involved, we aim to facilitate victims’ unique visions for justice and healing, giving communities the tools they need to create meaningful and lasting change
