The Brinson Foundation is seeking to hire a highly qualified candidate with excellent communication, analytic, and administrative skills to fill a full-time Grants Manager position. Prior engagement with foundations, databases, or other relevant nonprofit experience is preferred, but not required. Experience with the GivingData grants management system or a similar application is a plus.
