Director of Grant Services

Would you like to see more good in the world?

So would we.

That’s why we founded FundSource26 Inc., an award-winning funding vehicle for purpose-driven organizations. We provide strategic planning, coaching, and turnkey solutions that get nonprofits FUNDED so they can spend less time chasing money and more time doing good.

The Role

As the Director of Grant Services, you will play a key leadership role in ensuring that our team and our clients are set up for success. You will guide day-to-day operations, improve systems, and support our talented staff so they can do their best work. Your job is to create the conditions for grant wins—not just through performance metrics, but through people, culture, and clarity.

You are committed to excellence, efficiency, and results—but just as importantly, you are committed to people. You believe in setting high standards, and you also believe that success is sweeter when it’s shared.

Your Typical Day Would Include:

Team Leadership & Culture Building

Coaching and supporting our grant development team to meet deadlines, hit KPIs, and continuously raise the bar. You will hold the team accountable with empathy, clarity, and strength while maintaining the strong culture we’ve built—where team members feel seen, valued, and motivated to grow.

Client Success Oversight

Ensuring our clients feel cared for, heard, and well supported at every step. You will guide project delivery and outcomes while also building long-term trust and satisfaction by proactively managing clients and resolving issues as they arise.

Accountability with Care

Helping the team stay on track toward deadlines and goals with structure, clarity, and kindness. You lead with empathy but are unafraid to take corrective action when needed.

Smart Resource Management

Making strategic decisions that balance efficiency with quality. You’ll optimize time, budget, and effort to maximize results and minimize waste.

Operational Excellence

Creating and documenting systems that help us work smarter, not harder. You bring structure to creative work and help us scale without losing what makes our team special.

Celebrating Wins

Ensuring we pause to celebrate progress, recognize contributions, and acknowledge both individual and collective success.

Hybrid Work and Occasional Travel Requirements

We believe in the value of in-person interactions with clients and team members. Our team collaborates 3 days a week in-office with the option to work remotely 2 days a week. You can also expect to travel 5-8 times per year for company conferences and to meet with geographically distant clients. For local clients, you will have more frequent opportunities for face-to-face meetings.

Relocation expenses may be available to successful candidate.
