Fundraising Associate - New York, United States - Riders Alliance
Description
Riders Alliance fights for reliable, affordable, world-class public transit in order to build a more just and sustainable New York. Since we formed in 2012, transit riders have become a powerful and recognized political constituency in New York City. Our members have identified the most pressing issues facing riders, organized their communities, and successfully lobbied elected officials to commit to ambitious agendas around improving public transit.
We are currently hiring a Fundraising Associate to help expand and engage our donor base. The Associate will help execute key elements of our annual fundraising plan including gift processing and acknowledgement, digital and mailed appeals, cultivation activities, merchandise sales, and an annual gala. We're looking for a creative, collaborative, accountable project manager who can wrap their arms around logistics, tasks, and details while authentically connecting with members of our community of transit supporters. The Associate will report to and work closely with the Director of Fundraising and Operations.
Key Responsibilities
Fundraising Operations and Administration
Donor Stewardship and Communications
Events Management and Donor Engagement
Salary: $60,000 - $70,000
Time commitment: Full-time, 40-hours a week (with some schedule flexibility). We are currently a hybrid office.
Riders Alliance offers employer premium support for medical and dental insurance, vision insurance, 403(b) retirement account with generous employer match, life insurance, access to commuter benefits, and more.
Expectations: Riders Alliance is a grassroots organization with thousands of members and hundreds of donors. Our growing fundraising program is focused on raising the annual budget while building community and connection with donors who will be longtime supporters and ambassadors of our mission, helping us broaden our impact and improve public transit. Our small staff size necessitates good communication and collaboration, and allows us to be creative and experimental about engagement experiences.
