Job Overview

Organization Overview

Hands for Hope (also known as Hands4Hope LA or H4HLA) is dedicated to providing essential support to youth and their families from low-income, underserved, predominantly single-parent minority households, aiming to enhance their overall quality of life. Established in 2000, H4HLA operates in a nurturing environment where staff, volunteers, and instructors work collaboratively to foster relationships, bolster academic skills, and introduce new talents. By grounding our initiatives in the real-life experiences of the families we serve, we partner with parents and caregivers to create resources that address the social, emotional, and educational needs of our students. Our participants flourish in an atmosphere that encourages curiosity, exploration of their abilities, and peer learning.

Position Summary

Hands4Hope LA is at a crucial juncture in our growth trajectory. We are looking to expand our collaborations throughout the greater Los Angeles area while enhancing our programming. We are in search of a Fundraising Coordinator who will play a vital role in establishing a robust foundation for H4HLA as we evolve.

The ideal candidate will be an enthusiastic and qualified individual who will work closely with the CEO and the Associate Director. The Fundraising Coordinator will be responsible for leading and executing H4HLA's fundraising initiatives. This part-time role will involve planning fundraising events, engaging with donors to foster ongoing contributions, and identifying opportunities for financial support through grants and sponsorships within our local communities.

Fundraising and Development

  • Collaborate with the CEO, Associate Director, Board of Directors, and volunteers to meet fundraising objectives.
  • Manage the fundraising database and tracking systems.
  • Implement H4HLA's fundraising strategy and ensure that financial targets are achieved.
  • Continuously engage with potential donors and supporters to establish effective communication.
  • Develop a major gifts program, including the identification, cultivation, and solicitation of significant donors. Maintain recognition programs and donor acknowledgments.
  • Coordinate special fundraising events.
  • Lead initial and ongoing crowdfunding campaigns as well as annual fundraising drives.
  • Participate in staff and Board meetings as required.

Communications

Professionally represent H4HLA to the public through presentations and speaking engagements, sharing information about our mission.

Digital Marketing

The ideal candidate will possess a keen eye for detail, excellent grammar skills, and a passion for H4HLA's mission. Responsibilities may include assisting with content related to both programs and fundraising efforts.

Key tasks may involve:

  • Creating and executing on-brand graphics for various platforms (social media, website, e-blasts, print, etc.).
  • Enhancing media reach and engagement across different platforms.
  • Analyzing reports and translating analytics to inform marketing strategies.
  • Developing and maintaining a media calendar related to both programs and fundraising.

Required qualifications include an undergraduate degree in business, public policy, nonprofit management, international development, or a related field.

Applicants should exhibit a high level of comfort with donor outreach and solicitation, as well as experience in funder research. Nonprofit management or administration experience, coupled with strong interpersonal skills, is essential. Experience in developing and managing budgets is also required.

Strong writing skills tailored to the needs of a nonprofit organization are necessary for effective communication with donors and the public. Candidates should be able to write in both formal and informal styles using professional language.

Experience working with diverse populations and event planning capabilities are also important.

Proficiency with fundraising software (e.g., Salesforce, DonorPerfect) is essential, along with familiarity with MS Word, Excel, web research, and social media platforms.

We seek individuals who demonstrate maturity, initiative, resourcefulness, and the ability to inspire others, creatively solve problems, and collaborate effectively with staff and volunteers.

Successful candidates will thrive in a small nonprofit environment and be willing to take on multiple roles as needed.
