Home Woven’s mission is to revitalize neighborhoods where individuals and families can thrive for generations. Based in the Omaha metro, we believe that housing is more than just shelter; it’s the foundation for health, opportunity, and long‑term stability.

We provide various services, including no‑cost essential home repairs, homes for those looking to achieve the dream of home ownership, and home buying assistance tailored for low‑to‑moderate‑income families in the vibrant Omaha metro. We're building a brighter future, one home at a time!

The Grants Strategy & Compliance Manager (GSCM) plays a crucial role in supporting Home Woven’s mission. Working closely with the Director of Development & Communications, this position helps manage funding through grant writing, coordination, and careful compliance with reporting duties. The person in this role will collaborate to identify funding opportunities, keep transparent and accessible records, and build meaningful relationships with funders based on trust and shared goals.

This role helps identify strong funding opportunities, manage proposal workflows, and prepare compelling, data‑driven submissions. The GSCM collaborates with program, finance, and leadership staff to gather project details, budgets, timelines, and outcomes. They help maintain an organized pipeline of deadlines, requirements, and documents, ensuring applications are submitted on time, accurately, and aligned with Home Woven’s priorities.

Once a grant is awarded, the GSCM supports tracking deliverables, reporting progress, and ensuring compliance with funder expectations. They gather program data, financial information, and homeowner impact stories to create strong reports that reflect Home Woven’s accountability and the real difference funders make. The role helps monitor timelines, update internal teams, and maintain accurate documentation in our systems.
