In this role, you’ll:

  • Identify and apply for grants that support our initiatives

  • Develop and manage a grant‐submission calendar, including writing brief impact reports post-award

  • 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

  • Is a self-starter-able to take ownership of tasks from start to finish

  • (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

While experience in fundraising or nonprofit work is beneficial, it’s not required. We value enthusiasm, creativity, and a willingness to learn.

By joining our team, you’ll help bring light to communities in need and honor the legacy of Akshay Patel. If you’re ready to make a difference-and gain real, hands-on fundraising experience-let’s chat!
