Position Summary:
The Grant Resource Specialist supports law enforcement agencies by equipping them with the knowledge, resources, and tools necessary to successfully secure grant funding. This role does not write or submit grants on behalf of clients; instead, it provides training, consultation, and structured resources that position agencies to independently complete competitive applications.

Education & Train Agencies:
Design and deliver workshops, webinars, and training sessions on grant writing, compliance, and application best practices.
Provide clear examples, templates, and case studies that illustrate successful approaches.
Consultation & Coaching:
Conduct one-on-one consultations with agencies to assess their needs, identify aligned funding opportunities, and prepare them to apply.
Guide agencies through the entire grant process offering direction, resources, and strategies, while leaving the final submission in their control.
Resource Development:
Create comprehensive toolkits, checklists, and templates that simplify the grant process.
Maintain and expand the grant warehouse as a living resource, ensuring agencies have access to current and relevant information.
Research and write grants and grant examples.
Partnerships & Networking:
Collaborate with federal, state, and nonprofit organizations to expand law enforcement access to funding support networks.
Partner with Marketing to build online platforms and facilitate networking events connecting agencies with funders, grant writers, and peers.
Advocacy & Storytelling:
Collect and share success stories that highlight the impact of law enforcement agencies successfully securing grants.
Advocate for the importance of funding law enforcement programs by raising awareness of challenges and opportunities.
Follow-up Support:
Provide agencies with compliance guidance, project tracking resources, and post-award coaching to ensure successful implementation of funded initiatives.
Maintain Grant Intelligence:
Track changes in federal and state funding priorities, legislation, and compliance requirements, and communicate updates to clients.
Develop Assessment Tools:
Create standardized needs assessment surveys or checklists that agencies can use to align their requests with funding priorities.
Benchmark Best Practices:
Research and compile examples of successful grant applications and strategies used by similar agencies and package them into reference materials.
Facilitate Peer Learning:
Organize peer-to-peer roundtables or user groups where agencies can share experiences, lessons learned, and grant strategies.
Build Internal Knowledge Base:
Maintain an internal archive of FAQs, case studies, and example narratives for quick reference when assisting agencies.
