Grant Writer/Planner

Can you write? Can you persuade others? Can you pay attention to details? More importantly, do you think your skills can help create opportunities for working families to have a better life better here in your community?

At TAP, we believe the continued existence of poverty makes all our lives worse, and it makes our society less than it can be. We don’t have all the answers, but we know there’s a lot of work to be done to make things better. We also know it feels better to try to make things better than to complain or to forever wonder: “What can I do?”
