Copywriters Needed

The Copywriter role
is responsible for creating the marketing copy for website, brochure, naming,
key messages, or annual report projects. He or she will often work closely with
the nonprofit’s marketing personnel to improve existing marketing copy.  A successful copywriter
has two or more years experience in copywriting at an agency or as an internal
copywriter. In this role, you should have extensive experience working with
visual designers to develop marketing collateral (brochures, websites, direct
mail pieces), and be familiar with either the AP Style Guide or Chicago Manual
of Style.

Each Taproot
Foundation project lasts 5 - 6 months with volunteers committing 3 - 5
hours of their time each week, often virtually. This opportunity is
flexible enough to work around the schedule of your full-time job.
