Responsibilities:
- Manage grant funds from start to finish, overseeing all assigned grants. This includes tracking funds, keeping accounts organized, and ensuring everything lines up for smooth financial reporting.

- Prepare and maintain reports, whether it’s for grant reimbursements, audits, or management inquiries. Handle the necessary documentation to keep everything running smoothly and compliant with financial requirements.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a mission-driven organization whose actions reflect their values. If you’re looking to balance career growth with meaningful work, this role offers both.
