Who we are looking for:

We're seeking a people-oriented individual who is eager to dive in and make a difference. If you're passionate about helping our donors experience the impact of their generosity through heartfelt thank-you notes, follow-ups, and engaging phone calls, we want to hear from you! Comfort on the phone and neat handwriting are essential for this role. Join us in celebrating the power of giving!

In this engaging position, you will:

  • Sign daily gift acknowledgment letters (trust us, it’s more enjoyable than it sounds!)
  • Make thank-you calls to express gratitude (who doesn’t love spreading positivity?)
  • Assist with general administrative tasks to keep things running smoothly

Schedule Details

  • This is a daily role through January, requiring 2-3 hours per day, 5 days a week.
  • Flexibility: Individual volunteers are not required to commit to all 5 days.
  • In December, we may need multiple volunteers each day as generosity peaks during the holiday season.

Join us in celebrating kindness and making a meaningful impact!

Why is this job needed or important:

This job is THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB in fundraising. Our donors and volunteers are wonderful. They are the kind of people who care passionately about helping vulnerable youth get the care they need to thrive. This job closes the loop for donors who are trusting us with their heartfelt gifts. Donors who receive prompt gift acknowledgment report feeling a deeper sense of connection, impact, and joy, which inspires them to continue helping reach those in our community who need it most.
