Sponsorships, Grants & Revenue Development Lead
We are looking for a creative, organized, and highly motivated person to help identify, pursue, and secure sponsorships, grants, partnerships, and other revenue opportunities for a growing educational/media platform.
This is a soup-to-nuts role. We need someone who can research opportunities from scratch, identify strong prospects, prepare outreach materials, help draft proposals, track submissions, follow up with contacts, and build a repeatable system for long-term revenue development.
The ideal candidate is part researcher, part strategist, part relationship-builder, and part creative problem-solver. You should be comfortable finding non-obvious funding opportunities and turning ideas into practical revenue pathways.

Identify companies, nonprofits, schools, cultural organizations, community partners, and funding sources that align with our mission
Build and maintain a database of prospects, deadlines, contacts, requirements, and next steps
Draft outreach emails, sponsorship materials, grant summaries, proposals, and partnership language
Recommend creative revenue streams beyond traditional grants and sponsorships
Track applications, follow-ups, responses, and funding status
Help create a repeatable process for ongoing sponsorship, grant, and revenue development
Assist with relationship-building strategies for potential sponsors, donors, partners, and funders
Ideal Background
Experience with sponsorships, grants, fundraising, partnerships, business development, nonprofit revenue, or related work
Proven track record identifying or securing sponsorships, grants, partnerships, donations, or alternative revenue opportunities
Strong research, writing, and communication skills
Highly organized and able to manage multiple opportunities at different stages
Comfortable working independently and taking initiative
Creative thinker who can find practical funding paths others might miss
