• Manage the proposal process from concept to submission, ensuring alignment with organizational priorities.
• Track and report fundraising activity using the organization’s CRM (HubSpot).
• Collaborate with internal teams to align funding opportunities with program needs and organizational priorities.

Organizational Partnership

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 5+ years of progressive experience in fundraising and development, with proven success in securing major gifts and grants.
• Established credibility and relationships with philanthropic foundations preferred.
• Entrepreneurial, "scrappy" mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Demonstrated ability to build fundraising programs, processes, and relationships from the ground up.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to compellingly articulate mission and impact.
• Strong organizational skills and comfort working independently with minimal oversight.
• Experience with HubSpot or similar CRM platforms.
