In this role, you’ll:
Identify and apply for grants that support our initiatives

Organize fundraising events, such as community cleanups or awareness walks
Coordinate volunteer fundraising teams (e.g., peer-to-peer fundraisers, phone-a-thons)
Manage our online donation campaigns on platforms like GiveButter
Maintain our donor database (CRM), tracking gifts, follow-ups, and thank-you notes
Craft fundraising collateral (one-pagers, slide decks, social-media graphics) to tell our story
Steward donor relationships via personalized outreach, newsletters, and recognition programs
Collaborate with social media or marketing volunteers to run giving challenges & email appeals
Track key metrics in a simple dashboard (monthly dollars raised, new/recurring donors, campaign ROI)
Engage with potential donors to build lasting relationships
We’re looking for someone who:
Shares our passion for empowering youth and creating sustainable change
Has strong communication, storytelling, and organizational skills
Can dedicate 5-10 hours per week to this remote volunteer position

Has basic spreadsheet/CRM familiarity (even if you’ve only used Google Sheets)
(Optional but ideal) Has some Spanish skills or cross-cultural sensitivity when discussing programs in Peru
Is adaptable, solutions-focused, and excited to help build a fundraising function from the ground up
