Contract Grant Writer (Outcomes-Focused | Remote)
Overview
CK Family Services (CKFS) is seeking an experienced Contract Grant Writer who excels at precision, structure, and sustained focus to support diversified, long-term funding for mission-critical programs serving children and families. This role is best suited for a professional who values accuracy over speed, depth over volume, and getting it right the first time. Grant funding at CKFS is treated as strategic capital, not transactional revenue. This is a remote, part-time, project-based contract role with opportunity for ongoing engagement based on performance. What This Role Is (Important)
- A writing-intensive, detail-driven role
- Requires extended independent focus
- Involves complex narratives, compliance, and outcomes alignment
- Emphasizes quality, consistency, and correctness
- Minimal meetings; high expectation of self-directed execution
If you prefer fast-paced coordination, frequent check-ins, or high social interaction, this role is not a fit.

- Write clear, structured, and compelling grant narratives grounded in data and measurable outcomes
- Translate complex service models (child welfare, behavioral health, foster care) into funder-ready proposals
- Develop letters of intent, full proposals, and narrative sections with close attention to requirements and scoring criteria
Accuracy, Compliance & Alignment
- Ensure submissions fully comply with funder instructions, formatting, and documentation requirements
- Align proposals tightly with CKFS strategy, outcomes, and budgets
- Maintain internal consistency across narratives, logic models, and attachments
Research & Preparation
- Review funder guidelines, RFPs, and scoring rubrics thoroughly before drafting
- Integrate impact data, historical performance, and predictive indicators into proposals
- Coordinate required inputs (budgets, outcomes, attachments) with internal stakeholders as needed
Post-Submission Support
- Maintain organized records of submissions and funder requirements
- Support reporting or follow-up narratives when requested
