You will collaborate with the fundraising team to plan and coordinate fundraising activities, engage with potential sponsors and donors, and promote events through various channels.

- Donor Communications and Stewardship: Support the development and implementation of donor communication strategies. This may include drafting thank-you letters, donor impact reports, and other communication materials to express gratitude, update donors on our progress, and maintain strong relationships.

Qualifications:
