As 100% of donations are used to aid Clean River Project's clients, our organization will require external sources of funding to support operating costs. This is where the Grant Researcher will play an integral role in helping their community attain needed services in cleaning, protecting, and providing a safer water supply to the people and wildlife in the many cities and towns nearby. The Grant Researcher will look for grants - as well as other sources of funding - that Clean River Project is eligible for. The Grant Researcher will be expected to track these grants in terms of their value, the application deadline, the prerequisites necessary for applications, and other grant-related details that will be covered in the responsibilities section.
