Fund Development Assistant
Download the Full Description
Overview
The Fund Development Assistant reports directly to the Executive Director to support implementation of the organization’s fundraising and donor stewardship initiatives. Tasks may range from administration to event support. This is currently a part-time role expected to work 20 hours per week (est. equivalent of 4 hours per day, Mon-Fri; the employees exact schedule would be determined with the Executive Director).
This is a fun, entry-level opportunity to learn the foundation of fundraising and nonprofit operations.
Qualification Summary
The Assistant should be able to demonstrate knowledge and skills that will support our efforts to engage and retain donors and other funders in our network.
In place of extensive experience, a demonstrated ability to learn new tools and functions quickly with a solution-oriented mindset will be important; this may include the initiative to research what you do not already know.
- What is a priority?
- Experience working in the nonprofit sector is required
- Budgeting, event coordination, and evaluation skills
- Ability to work well with deadlines to self-manage both recurring and special tasks with autonomy
- Work well as part of a team and independently, and effectively in collaboration with diverse groups of people
- Ability to learn quickly
- What is a plus?
- Experience with membership-based networks, clubs, or associations
- Familiarity working within our service area is highly preferred, but not a deal breaker (Greater Triangle: Wake, Durham, Chatham, Orange, and Johnston Counties)
Other Things To Expect
All Activate Good staff and interns work with their own laptop in a hybrid capacity (remote, with in-person as needed) during typical business hours unless otherwise discussed for special events and projects.
Our organization is highly event-focused; some traveling within the Triangle area may be required, and some scheduling may be influenced by specific needs of assignments. Interns and staff should have their own transportation, or be able to coordinate transportation to and from assignment locations.
For events and projects, our team spends a lot of time moving around (standing, lifting, carrying, reaching, etc.). Project and event environments can range from our warehouse, to schools, to corporate offices, nonprofit locations, conference venues, and more.
Learn more about what we look for in teammates earlier in this page under “What We Look For”.
Compensation and Benefits
This is a part-time, hourly role and is paid monthly. Part-time employees are eligible for retirement benefits, flexible PTO, paid holidays, and parental leave. The pay rate presented in the description is based on current budget capacity and may not be subject to negotiation at this time.
