What You'll Actually Be Doing You'll be the main person helping nonprofits and political campaigns raise money, get grants, and make their big ideas happen. Think of yourself as part strategist and part problem-solver. You'll juggle multiple clients while helping them secure funding and run successful campaigns that actually matter. Who We're Looking For Someone who gets fired up about social justice, political change, or helping nonprofits thrive. You've got 2-5 years of experience (internships totally count!) and you're not afraid to dive into the messy, rewarding world of campaign work and fundraising. Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like Managing Clients Like a Pro Keep 8-12 different projects running smoothly (yes, it's a lot, but you've got this) Be the go-to person your clients can count on - think of yourself as their work bestie who actually gets stuff done Build systems that don't suck and actually help everyone stay organized Have real conversations with clients daily to make sure you're hitting their goals Writing Grants That Actually Win Money Research and write grant applications that foundations and government agencies want to fund Turn boring program descriptions into compelling stories that make funders want to open their wallets Keep track of deadlines (because missing them is literally throwing money away) Work with program staff to collect the data and stories that make grants shine Target: Help bring in new funding per year Fundraising Events & Donor Relationships Plan fundraising events that people actually want to attend (and donate at) Manage everything from small 50-person gatherings to big 500+ person galas Help donors feel genuinely connected to the cause (not just like walking ATMs) Track who gives what and make sure they feel appreciated Goal: Increase donor retention by 15% because keeping donors happy is way cheaper than finding new ones Keeping Everyone Legal & Compliant Handle all the boring-but-necessary paperwork that keeps nonprofits and campaigns out of trouble Make sure reports get filed on time (because the CFB doesn't care about your other deadlines) Keep detailed records that would make an auditor happy Events & Field Work Support everything from virtual webinars to in-person rallies Help coordinate volunteers who are passionate but maybe need some guidance Be the person who figures out how to make things work when plans inevitably change Schedule & Lifestyle Mostly normal hours, but expect some evening and weekend events (like 4-6 per month) You'll need to travel occasionally around Manhattan + Outer Boroughs/NJ/Long Island for client meetings Fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly (if you need everything perfectly planned out, this isn't for you) Success Looks Like Clients actually like working with you You never miss compliance deadlines You help bring in solid funding Clients stick around because you're good at what you do Education & Location Bachelor's degree required (any field that taught you how to think and communicate) Must live in the NY/NJ area - this isn't a fully remote gig Hybrid setup: work from home most of the time, meet with clients when needed
