Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

To better address mitigation targets and answer the call of COP28, this fundraising task is created to mobilize climate funds for furthering youth leadership in climate action in alignment with the non-state entity (UV Society)’s short-term targets and long-term goals. The UV Society’s newly launched project aims to amplify youth’s voices in climate action to transform the agri-food system through sustainable and scalable approaches and develop their leadership and entrepreneurship for better socio-economic impacts on local communities.

This project contributes to strengthening Government-Industry-Academia partnerships and cross-sector collaborations while the volunteer, through grant writing support, gives an impetus to empower youth leadership and enhance capacity to transform agri-food systems through sustainable farming for the increase in food production and nature-based solutions for better carbon sequestration potential.

To that end, we are seeking to collaborate with Online Volunteers through this online volunteering assignment on grant writing.

Selected Online Volunteers may work in a team and will perform the below-mentioned tasks individually: - One of the volunteers will be assigned on research, identify, and evaluate grant funding opportunities under the guidance of the management team of the UV Society. - The second one will work on drafting the assigned grant proposals, modify relevant documents based on feedback provided by supervisors and submit quality deliverables promptly. He/she is responsible for preparing communication drafts for the UV Society so that back-and-forth communications between the UV Society and external potential partners can be facilitated. The third one will keep a concise record of each proposal with reasonable evidence in line with the underlying rationale which can be easily handed over to successors. The fourth one will assist with the execution of the business development department's strategy.

The Online Volunteers will not be requested to make donations in-kind or financial contributions or to solicit donations from third parties.

Applicant willing to collaborate with us are expected to have professional education and experience in Grant Proposal Writing. This may include basic knowledge in budgeting, monitoring, and evaluation aspects, proficiency with measuring and reaching income goals, and solid knowledge of fundraising information sources. Apart from this candidate should have: -Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written. -Strong soft skills such as time management and people skills. -Strict commitment to meeting deadlines.
