Lucie Berman’s Post

I just reviewed a grants manager position in metro Atlanta for a housing non-profit for a friend. They love the non-profit’s work, but the scope at a glance felt broad, so I offered to take a look. I’m curious to hear other’s perspectives on this. In the list of requirements for a candidate, a master’s degree, three years of experience in fundraising, and donor management are all required, on top of the typical grant writing and administration experience. This role clearly wears a lot of hats, but it isn’t unheard of in our world, especially at multi-faceted orgs. The offered salary range for this role is $55k to $69k annually with 4 PTO days. The role also requires 4 days in-office, which is deep in Atlanta proper. In the private sector (and for most larger cities), this role would pay $110k-$130k annually with generous benefits to compensate for the sheer workload and time commitment required of a candidate with that experience. I’m curious as to where the disconnect between the role and compensation package might originate, if anyone has thoughts. #grants #grantsmanager #grantwriting #compensationanalysis

Maryland Humanities is currently hiring 2 positions: Director of Advancement (https://lnkd.in/eYittcuT) and Grants Specialist...just posted this week...keep reading for more information! I wanted to share some background on why this could be the PERFECT job for you or for a colleague! - The Grants Specialist job is a perfect way to get to learn more about grant writing and reporting. Our current grants portfolio is many re-occuring and non-competitive grants. So learn how to write grants well without all of the pressure to bring home a slew of new grants! - We have built-in that our Grants Specialist will have access to an external grants consultant to provide an additional level of support AND set them up for success! - Our benefits are pretty awesome... In addition to the leave included in the job post, I have closed for a week in November and July without asking staff to use their time. We all come back feeling refreshed and WITHOUT a full inbox to dig through. - We are an org that HIGHLY values boundaries around work. When we are off, we are off. We don't add extra work to your plate without consent and compensation. For this, we utilize spot bonuses to compensate staff when they are asked to do additional work. - This pulled from our strategic plan isn't just fluffy language. It is something we actively work towards in our work: Maryland Humanities’ unique strength lies in the competency and creativity of our staff. The Maryland Humanities staff bring passion, creativity, and innovation to the development of our work. Organizationally, we will continue to evolve staff capabilities and competencies. The staff of Maryland Humanities leverages the insights and leadership of our supportive and capable board of directors to strengthen our organization’s capacity. If you're getting started in your grant writing career, this very well could be the job for you! We encourage applicants with a strong background in project management and some experience in grants--you DO NOT have to come in knowing everything.

With September coming up, many nonprofit organizations in BC are gearing up to renew their employment contracts within their workforce. Many nonprofits implement fixed-term annual employment contracts that are contingent on annual funding.⁠ ⁠ But remember, fixed-term employment contracts can be tricky. Nonprofit employers should make sure they include clear provisions about the term, probation, and termination (just to name a few). These terms need to comply with employment standards and other laws. ⁠ ⁠ PortaLaw helps nonprofits build and manage their working relationships.
