Job description

Are You Our Development Coordinator?

Are you a spreadsheet whiz who also loves a good thank-you note? Stray Cat Alliance is looking for a Development Coordinator to join our small but mighty team.

This role is data-and-process focused, with regular donor correspondence along the way. You will keep our donor database accurate and organized, process gifts (cash and in-kind), and help make sure our donors feel seen and appreciated. If you love clean, strong systems as much as you love a well-timed thank-you note, this job is for you.

What You Will Do

You'll be a valuable extra set of hands across Development: keeping our donor database accurate, processing gifts (cash and in-kind), and helping donors feel appreciated and taken care of.

Some days that means running reports and checking data; other days it might mean helping the Director of Development prep for a tour, lending a hand at a donor event, pulling together materials for an appeal, or supporting a press or donor request as it comes up.

No two days look quite the same, but the throughline is making sure Development runs smoothly and our donors feel valued.

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience working with databases (fundraising CRM experience required)
• Strong skills in Google and Microsoft products, including spreadsheets and mail merge
• Familiarity with nonprofit fundraising
• Great attention to detail and the ability to manage your own projects and deadlines
• Strong people skills, spoken and written
• A big heart for cats (experience with animals is a plus)

Why Work With Us?

Stray Cat Alliance works every day to save the lives of kittens and cats. We provide foster, adoption, medical care, and transport for cats and kittens pulled from local shelters; spay and neuter and wellness services for the public; and offer a range of other support services for cats and the people who love them. We believe that every cat deserves to be safe, healthy, and valued and we help thousands of cats every year in service of this mission.
