10 monthsAbout the project
Professionals with experience in donor relations and fundraising are called to support nonprofits in Georgia as they navigate critical transitional times.
Nonprofits have been recently impacted by severe legal and financial constraints that have led to reduced international funding. Additionally, projects often dissolve after donor funding expires, making project activity heavily influenced by donor priorities. These factors are forcing staff to rethink their financing models, programming, and operations. The nonprofits greatly need assistance with sustainable growth opportunities, partnership building, stakeholder engagement, and innovative models of strategic coordination.
As a Fundraising and Income Generation Advisor, you will collaboratively develop strategies to enhance resource mobilization, build new partnerships, as well as design and manage projects.
