Volunteer: Grant Readiness Project

Army Pink - Pathway To Freedom; Los Angeles (CA); On-site; Full time

Job description

This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections.

Create a standardized grant boilerplate template containing core organizational information, program descriptions, impact language, and commonly requested application content. Organize supporting materials and file structure. Produce a 12-month grant calendar with likely funding opportunities, deadlines, and preparation timelines.

Stronger grant readiness will help Army Pink secure funding to provide safe rides and connect survivors to mental health, education, and recovery resources. Volunteers will directly support the initiative's ability to make escapes safer, expand healing services, and sustain pathways to recovery for survivors.

Volunteers will collaborate with Army Pink staff to review existing language and finalize templates. The team is committed to adopting the boilerplate, calendar, and recommendations to guide future grant submissions and maintain readiness.

Army Pink Mission: Army Pink: Pathway to Freedom is a survivor-led initiative that makes escape possible - by funding the very first step: a safe ride out. We turn compassion into action by helping survivors of domestic abuse leave danger and begin again with dignity, support, and a path toward healing. Because no one should be left behind when they're ready to leave. We provide safe rides for survivors who need a way out of dangerous situations. We also connect survivors with meaningful support through trusted partners who offer mental health care, education, wellness, and long-term recovery resources. As a fiscally sponsored initiative under Charity On Top (a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit), we ensure donations are tax-deductible and used responsibly to support ride access and survivor safety. We stay committed to each survivor’s path forward, because leaving abuse isn’t just about getting out - it’s about rebuilding a life with a safe way forward and hope.

Leaving an abusive situation is the most dangerous moment for a survivor. Many face barriers that make escaping even harder - no safe transportation, limited support, fear, or not knowing where to turn. Domestic violence organizations consistently report that lack of safe transportation is the number one unmet and severely underfunded need, keeping survivors trapped in dangerous situations. By providing safe rides and connecting survivors to real resources, ARMY PiNK helps make that critical moment safer and gives each survivor the support to move forward and start again. Leaving abuse isn’t just physical - it often leaves the spirit broken. Army Pink curates a healing space designed to calm the nervous system and restore balance. Survivors can access meditation, crystal bowls, movement, and trauma-informed yoga, thoughtfully selected to support recovery and resilience. These resources help survivors reconnect with themselves, soothe stress, and rebuild a sense of safety and wholeness, nurturing the part of them most deeply wounded.
