Building the Backbone: Grant Writing & Funding Strategy

At 4Horsemen Rehabilitation Services Inc., we’re looking for a Taproot volunteer to help us strengthen our grant writing efforts. Specifically, we need support with one or two immediate grant applications and guidance on building a simple, sustainable grant writing system for the future.

Project Scope

Grant Prospecting – Identify and prioritize 10–15 funders that align with our mission and programs (TAP, KIWAP, Front Line).

Core Narrative Development – Refine our case statements, program descriptions, and impact language into modular content we can reuse across proposals.

Grants Calendar & Toolkit – Create a basic calendar and assemble standard attachments (IRS letter, budgets, board list, logic model).

Application Support – Depending on timing, help draft or edit 1–2 proposals or LOIs.

We anticipate this project will take 4–6 weeks, with weekly check-ins. You’ll work closely with our Executive Director and Program Director and collaborate through Google Docs, Zoom, or your preferred platform.

Why This Matters
Our mission is to reduce recidivism by equipping formerly incarcerated individuals with tools, training, and support to rebuild their lives. As we expand our flagship TAP program and launch new initiatives for families and veterans, we need a stronger funding strategy to match our growth.

Your expertise will help us build a clearer, more efficient grant writing process—leaving us with a roadmap and resources we can sustain long after the project ends.

At 4Horsemen Rehabilitation Services Inc., we walk alongside formerly incarcerated individuals as they rebuild their lives—with dignity, direction, and the tools for long-term success.

We’re expanding our TAP program across Georgia and need a skilled Taproot volunteer to help us build a sustainable grant-writing system. By refining our narratives, identifying funders, and creating reusable tools, you’ll lay the financial foundation for programs that reduce recidivism, support families, and empower veterans.

This isn’t just a grant project—it’s a chance to help rewrite someone’s story.

At 4Horsemen Rehabilitation Services Inc., we’re committed to making the most of this opportunity and have taken clear steps to ensure this project succeeds—for both our organization and our Taproot partner.

Proven Partners: This is our fifth Taproot project, and we’ve consistently turned past volunteer contributions into lasting improvements.

Focused on Sustainability: This project will leave us with tools and systems we can continue to use—building a replicable grant strategy that supports long-term impact.

We’re excited to collaborate with a skilled volunteer in a way that’s impactful, respectful of your time, and driven by a shared purpose.
