Who We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate is an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual with a proven track record in fundraising. Strong communication skills, a talent for relationship-building, and an ability to engage and inspire diverse audiences are essential.

Experience in fundraising, community engagement, or business development.
-
Knowledge of grant writing and reporting.
