As our Philanthropy Manager, you will build strong relationships with high-value donors, secure significant multi-year gifts, and collaborate with senior volunteers to drive our mission forward.

Bring your expertise in fundraising, relationship management, and donor stewardship to a dynamic and supportive team. If you’re ready to make a lasting difference, we want to hear from you!
