About us
Devxchange International is a Canadian registered charity that connects Canadian volunteers with our international development projects, delivered in cooperation with local partner organizations around the world.

What you will do

• Join our pool of volunteer grant writers, supporting projects that need writing help
• Write, edit, and polish grant proposal drafts as assigned by the Grants Coordinator
• Base your draft on the project's existing campaign page and its approved annual budget, working collaboratively with the project lead as needed
• Deliver a first draft within an agreed turnaround (typically 5 business days of being assigned)
• Take on requests matched to your strengths (e.g., government application forms, foundation narrative proposals, or general grant writing)
• Communicate promptly with the Grants Coordinator about your availability and workload
• Final sign-off rests with the Grants Coordinator, who reviews every draft against a CRA-compliance checklist before submission

• Experience or strong interest in grant writing or persuasive/fundraising writing
• Excellent written communication skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and meet deadlines
• Comfort collaborating with a project lead to understand and represent their project accurately
