We are looking for an experienced Fundraising Volunteer who can help turn each mission’s needs into a thoughtful, achievable fundraising strategy.
This volunteer will work directly with our Mission Team Leaders to understand the purpose of each mission, what needs to be funded, the fundraising goal, and the timeline. From there, they will help develop and coordinate a fundraising campaign designed to give people meaningful opportunities to support the mission.
The Fundraising Volunteer will also work closely with our Social Media Volunteer so that fundraising strategy, messaging, graphics, stories, and social media campaigns work together toward the same goal.
Work with the Mission Team Leader to understand the mission, its financial needs, timeline, and fundraising goal. Develop a practical campaign strategy for reaching that goal, including key messages, giving opportunities, campaign phases, and ways to communicate the need clearly to potential supporters.
Help translate a larger fundraising goal into specific, understandable ways people can make a difference. Rather than simply saying, “We need to raise $5,000,” help communicate what different levels of support can actually accomplish—such as providing meals, medicine, supplies, transportation, training, or other mission needs.
Develop a fundraising timeline leading up to the mission, identifying when campaigns should launch, when appeals should be made, when updates or milestones should be shared, and when additional fundraising efforts may be needed.
Coordinate with our Social Media Volunteer to make sure fundraising messages are supported by effective social media content. This may include campaign graphics, videos, stories, fundraising updates, progress toward goals, and calls to action.
Work with the Mission Team Leader to identify the people, communities, and needs behind each campaign. Help develop fundraising messages that communicate not only what we need, but why it matters and what someone’s generosity can make possible.
Follow the progress of each campaign and help the Mission Team Leader determine when messaging, outreach, or strategy should be adjusted to help reach the mission’s fundraising goal.
After the mission, work with the Mission Team Leader and Social Media Volunteer to help communicate what donor support accomplished. Showing the impact of someone’s generosity is an important part of building trust and developing long-term relationships with those who support our missions.
We are looking for someone with experience in fundraising, nonprofit development, donor campaigns, charitable giving, marketing, communications, or campaign strategy.
The ideal volunteer understands how to develop a fundraising campaign from beginning to end, communicate a compelling need, create effective calls to action, establish meaningful giving opportunities, and coordinate fundraising across multiple communication channels.
Experience with nonprofit organizations, churches, ministries, mission organizations, peer-to-peer fundraising, online giving campaigns, or donor communications is especially valuable.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who can do more than simply ask people for donations. We need someone who can help us develop a strategy that connects people with the purpose of the mission, shows them how their generosity can make a tangible difference, and then demonstrates the impact their support helped make possible.
Tell us a bit about yourself, and a member of our team will reach out to help you find the right volunteer opportunity.
