Mel Trotter Ministries • Grand Rapids, MI • 2h ago

Our Mission, Clearly

Mel Trotter Ministries is a faith-based, nonprofit organization committed to providing safe shelter and supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness. We work to create a structured, respectful environment where each person is treated with dignity and care.

Our approach is rooted in compassion, consistency, and accountability, with a focus on meeting immediate needs while supporting long-term stability. Through collaboration and a shared sense of purpose, our team works each day to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.

What You'll Own

As Grants Manager, you'll help fuel Mel Trotter Ministries' mission by guiding our grant strategy from proposal to closeout---so programs stay funded, compliant, and outcome-driven.

Key responsibilities:

Write, submit, and track grant proposals, reports, and renewals

Manage grant compliance, documentation, deadlines, and audits

Coordinate with internal teams to align budgets, narratives, and measurable outcomes

Build and maintain relationships with government agencies, foundations, corporations, and community partners

Monitor grant performance and support continuous improvement

Required qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Nonprofit Management, Public Administration, Business, Communications, Social Work, Human Services, or related field (Master's preferred)

3--5 years of successful grant writing experience

Experience managing multiple grant-funded projects; nonprofit experience preferred

Background in homelessness, housing, behavioral health, or human services strongly preferred

Your Daily Rhythm

Kick off the day by triaging your grant calendar---what's due now, what's brewing, and what needs a nudge. You'll swing by a program team's update to grab fresh stories and numbers, then settle in to tighten up a report so it's clean, confident, and funder-friendly. After lunch, it's a quick touchpoint with Finance to confirm details, followed by a call or email with a partner to keep relationships warm and expectations clear. Before you head out, you'll log progress, file supporting docs, and tee up tomorrow's priorities---because a smooth closeout is a beautiful thing.
