------ About Right to Live Canada

Right to Live Canada (RTL) is a federally incorporated nonprofit dedicated to empowering Canadians with disabilities to live with dignity. We address the root causes of poverty and exclusion—especially food insecurity, inadequate housing, and gaps in medical care—through practical programs, advocacy, and partnerships nationwide.

Do you love turning ambitious visions into fully funded realities? Right to Live Canada is a fresh, fast-moving nonprofit that hasn’t yet tapped the vast world of grants—meaning the runway is wide-open for a gifted strategist to design our funding engine from day one. If you’re the kind of person who can read a community’s unmet needs, translate them into compelling narratives, and back them with airtight budgets and data, we want you at the drawing board.

As our first Grant Administrator, you will architect every stage of the grant life-cycle: mapping the funding landscape, building a living database of prospects, orchestrating deadlines, and crafting submissions that rise to the top of highly competitive piles. You’ll establish the gold-standard processes that future team members will follow, forging relationships with government programs, charitable foundations, and corporate giving arms while measuring impact in real time. Every successful proposal you land won’t just keep the lights on—it will put healthy food on dinner tables, keep vulnerable Canadians housed, and give people with disabilities the resources to live with dignity.

If the idea of shaping a grant strategy from scratch—and watching your work translate directly into life-changing programs—energizes you, this is your moment to lead.
