Grant Writer

CodePath is the largest educator of college computer science students in the country. We've trained over 50,000 students from more than 1,000 universities. Our partners include Amazon, Google, and other leading technology companies. After nearly a decade of training technical talent, we launched a $150M initiative with Anthropic to prepare people for careers in AI.

We're expanding into new markets and growing our team as AI changes the workforce. People joining CodePath now will help shape this next stage of our work.

We believe technical skills create opportunities. Our goal is to train millions of learners and create lasting economic impact. If you want to build something new, take ownership, and see the results of your work, this is a place to do it.

About the Role Location: Remote (US)

Role Type: Full-Time Contractor (40 hours/week)

Duration: 9-month contract

Reports To: Sr. Manager, Development Operations

Compensation: $7,000–9,200 per month

This is not a traditional nonprofit grant writing role.

CodePath's Philanthropy Partnerships team raises the capital behind our courses, our career support, and our students' outcomes. The Grant Writer is how that case gets made. You write for national foundations and corporate partners deciding where their social impact dollars go, and you translate program data, student outcomes, and organizational strategy into the proposals and reports that win major commitments and steward them.

The second half of the job makes the first half repeatable. You partner with Finance, Delivery, Higher Education, and Data to stay ahead of fast-moving program updates and impact metrics, then turn what you learn into reusable assets, writing frameworks, and AI-enabled workflows the whole team draws on.

CodePath is an AI-native organization, and we expect this role to work like one. Writing faster with AI is table stakes. We want someone who builds the systems that raise everyone's output — so the team spends its time on strategy and judgment instead of rebuilding the same narrative from scratch.

CodePath is scaling fast. This is the role that lets our fundraising capacity scale with it.
