Job description

The non-profit Disaster Accountability Project (DAP) is seeking volunteers to assist with a major fundraising initiative aimed at building organizational capacity and funding critical programs.

Responsibilities may include:

• Grant writing (required for grant/proposal submissions)
• General proposal writing and communication

Disaster Accountability Project aims to save lives and reduce suffering by enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of disaster preparedness, response, relief, and recovery through oversight, transparency, advocacy, and public education.

Description

DAP is a leading nonprofit providing independent oversight of disaster management systems. It engages a dedicated community to promote policy research, advocacy, transparency, and public participation in oversight, community organizing, and disaster preparedness discussions.

Citizen oversight is essential to ensure resources for disaster management are used effectively, communities are resilient and engaged, and lessons learned are implemented to prevent repeating mistakes. Before DAP's establishment, there was no dedicated, independent oversight of agencies responsible for these critical life-saving activities.
