• Overseeing the data management needs by ensuring accurate information is being tracked and entered into the donor database and preparing and analyzing reports to support the growth of the portfolio.
• Managing a portfolio of Foundations; this work involves identifying new Foundations with a focus on children's health, preparing letters of intent, writing grant applications and proposals, and effectively stewarding and renewing of current donors in the portfolio.
