Are You Ready to Make a Difference?

We are seeking an individual who is passionate, motivated, and ready to tackle challenges head-on. If you excel in innovative thinking and desire the autonomy to work independently while taking on significant responsibilities, this role is tailored for you.

In the capacity of Fund Development Lead, you will play a crucial role in propelling our mission forward, boosting volunteer involvement, and enhancing outreach within the community.
