## Description

What You'll Actually Be Doing
You'll be the main person helping nonprofits and political campaigns raise money, get grants, and make their big ideas happen. Think of yourself as part strategist and part problem-solver. You'll juggle multiple clients while helping them secure funding and run successful campaigns that actually matter., Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like
Managing Clients Like a Pro
Keep 8-12 different projects running smoothly (yes, it's a lot, but you've got this)
Be the go-to person your clients can count on - think of yourself as their work bestie who actually gets stuff done
Build systems that don't suck and actually help everyone stay organized
Have real conversations with clients daily to make sure you're hitting their goals
Writing Grants That Actually Win Money
Research and write grant applications that foundations and government agencies want to fund
Turn boring program descriptions into compelling stories that make funders want to open their wallets
Keep track of deadlines (because missing them is literally throwing money away)
Work with program staff to collect the data and stories that make grants shine
Target: Help bring in new funding per year
Fundraising Events & Donor Relationships
Plan fundraising events that people actually want to attend (and donate at)
Manage everything from small 50-person gatherings to big 500+ person galas
Help donors feel genuinely connected to the cause (not just like walking ATMs)
Track who gives what and make sure they feel appreciated
Goal: Increase donor retention by 15% because keeping donors happy is way cheaper than finding new ones
Keeping Everyone Legal & Compliant
Handle all the boring-but-necessary paperwork that keeps nonprofits and campaigns out of trouble
Make sure reports get filed on time (because the CFB doesn't care about your other deadlines)
Keep detailed records that would make an auditor happy
Events & Field Work
Support everything from virtual webinars to in-person rallies
Help coordinate volunteers who are passionate but maybe need some guidance
Be the person who figures out how to make things work when plans inevitably change

 * Qualifications
Schedule & Lifestyle
Mostly normal hours, but expect some evening and weekend events (like 4-6 per month)
You'll need to travel occasionally around Manhattan + Outer Boroughs/NJ/Long Island for client meetings
Fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly (if you need everything perfectly planned out, this isn't for you)
Success Looks Like
Clients actually like working with you
You never miss compliance deadlines, You're comfortable with Google Workspace (Docs & Sheets) and Microsoft Office (beyond just the basics)
Bonus points if you know NGPVAN, ActBlue, CFB, Canva and/or other political/nonprofit tools
Quick learner when it comes to new platforms (because there's always a new app)
