In order to grow the individual donor base for Hop4Kids international work we are seeking a highly motivated fundraising and event coordinator. The person in this position will work closely with the leadership of Hop4Kids in the U.S. and with the executive directors of our local and international affiliates to increase the number of people contributing to our local International work. A major focus will be building a pool of monthly and annual donors who support organizing in Western America.
To achieve this goal they will work through Hop4Kids’s network of U.S. based organizations and congregations to plan fundraising events, organize donor circles of people committed to raising funds for local international organizing, plan fundraising visits by Hop4Kids leaders and organizers in the U.S. and reach out directly to current and potential donors.
This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who has experience raising funds from individuals and organizations, and wants to build a recurring donor program that supports people working to create change in their communities and countries.
