What are the responsibilities and job description for the GRANT WRITER & DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT position at Safety Alert Patrol?
THE MISSION
──────────────────────────────────────
Every day, schools across America need protection they can't afford. Every day, retired veterans and law enforcement officers leave careers of service with nowhere to direct what they've built.
Safety Alert Patrol (SAP) closes that gap.
We connect retired military veterans and law enforcement officers with K–12 schools, houses of worship, and healthcare facilities that need experienced security professionals — at no cost to the guards who serve and no cost to the institutions they protect. Our model is simple: community-driven, locally rooted, and built entirely on mission over margin.
We are a Baton Rouge-based nonprofit with a 501(c)(3) application pending, currently active across Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, and Alabama — and growing.

THE OPPORTUNITY
──────────────────────────────────────
We are looking for an experienced Grant Writer & Development Consultant to join SAP on a part-time contract basis. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape the fundraising strategy of a nonprofit with real national potential — one that has already built relationships with sheriffs' associations, veterans organizations, the FBI, the U.S. Department of Education, and members of Congress.
You will be the person who translates this mission into dollars.
