Company Overview

The Cato Institute is a public policy research organization – a think tank – dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace. Its scholars and analysts conduct independent, nonpartisan research on a wide range of policy issues.

Founded in 1977, Cato owes its name to Cato’s Letters, a series of essays published in 18th-century England that presented a vision of a society free from excessive government power. Those essays inspired the architects of the American Revolution. And the simple, timeless principles of that revolution – individual liberty, limited government, and free markets – turn out to be even more powerful in today’s world of global markets and unprecedented access to information than Jefferson or Madison could have imagined. Social and economic freedom is not just the best policy for a free people, it is the indispensable framework for the future.

We’re connectors, capacity-builders, cheerleaders, and innovators. We want to shake up the status quo and make lasting change; in short, transformation is our goal.

• Review RFP/RFA/NOFA/NOFO, convert application requirements into comprehensive project plans, and coordinate their successful execution to ensure the timely completion of projects
• Conduct reviews of teammates’ work that provide helpful feedback in the spirit of continuous professional development and be open to the same with your own work
• Facilitate post-award meetings to review application commitments and ensure successful project launch, as required
• Collaborate with teammates to remove project and organizational impediments
• Strategize with grant team leadership to assess the needs of clients in your portfolio and across the team; propose strategies for single- and multi-client/nonprofit and/or social business collaboration
• Seek opportunities to offer additional services through Encore and our partners that would enhance agencies’ sustainability, organizational health, and impact
