    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    The Southern Center for Human Rights (SCHR) is seeking to hire a
    full-time Development and Special Events Associate to support our
    fundraising efforts and coordinate special events to engage our
    supporters and raise awareness about our mission.


    About SCHR

    The Southern Center for Human Rights is working for equality,
    dignity, and justice for people impacted by the criminal legal
    system in the Deep South. SCHR fights for a world free from mass
    incarceration, the death penalty, the criminalization of poverty,
    and racial injustice.

    Over our forty-seven-year history, SCHR has litigated
    precedent-setting cases in the South, in hostile climates, against
    all odds. SCHR has forced county and state governments to make
    significant improvements in prisons and jails to reduce
    overcrowding, provide adequate medical and mental health care, and
    abate violence and abuse. We have argued and won five death penalty
    cases at the US Supreme Court, four of which challenged profound
    race discrimination in capital trials. Our combined litigation and
    policy advocacy helped bring about the creation of a statewide
    public defender system in Georgia. For more information about SCHR,
    see our website at

    About the Position

    We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Development and
    Special Events Associate to join our team. The successful candidate
    will play a key role in managing our donor database and gift
    acknowledgment process, coordinating special events to bolster
    support for our mission, and supporting other development efforts
    as needed.

    SCHR's $4.9 million annual budget supports multi-faceted legal
    advocacy campaigns to challenge abuses within the criminal legal
    system throughout the Deep South. Our revenue stream comes from a
    mix of foundation grants, individual and corporate contributions,
    special events, fellowships, and investment income. SCHR neither
    solicits nor receives government funding. We typically host four
    in-person fundraisers per year, which take place in Atlanta, San
    Francisco, New York, and Washington, D.C.

    The Development and Special Events Associate reports to the
    Development Director and works closely with the Administrative
    Team, in particular the Marketing Director, Communications
    Director, Finance Directors, and Executive Director.

    We seek someone with a deep and authentic commitment to the
    inherent dignity of our clients and our mission to create a world
    free from mass incarceration, the death penalty, the
    criminalization of poverty, and racial injustice. This is an
    opportunity to create systemic change working in an organization
    where we all give 100% in an environment that tends to be high
    stakes, high energy and does not conform to traditional 9 to 5
    schedules. Achieving our bold mission often requires weeknight or
    weekend hours and a can-do attitude while we also strive to support
    our staff in maintaining their resiliency through our benefits
    package and positive, passionate work environment.


    Key Responsibilities


    Individual Giving and Donor Database Management


  • Assist with sending appeals, acknowledgments, gift statements,
    and other donor communications
  • Assist in the development and implementation of donor
    stewardship and cultivation strategies, including wealth

  • Manage database entry and integrity: data entry, event

    relationships and contracts, volunteer responsibilities, and
    participant engagement
  • Coordinate with key volunteers and event committees to elevate
    event experiences for our guests

    Other Responsibilities
  • Provide support for foundation relations activities, including
    foundation prospecting, grant proposals, and grant reports
  • Support other development tasks, including major donor

    well-organized, communicate well with others, have strong writing
    skills, and have a deep commitment to SCHR's work. The candidate
    should be both a strong team player and able to work independently.

    volunteer experience with under-served communities. The candidate
    should also have a willingness to venture into new situations and
    tenacity in seeking new opportunities for donor engagement. People

    system are deeply encouraged to apply.

  • Professional experience in development and/or administrative
    assistance
  • Experience with donor databases, preferably Every Action or
    Salsa CRM
  • Prior experience working with special events
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with a passion
    for building relationships with donors, allies, and the public
  • High-level knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite
  • Dedication to uprooting anti-Black racism and working to
    advance SCHR's commitment to antiracism
  • Engagement in social justice community, familiarity with issues
    in the criminal legal system, and a passion to embrace SCHR's work
    and mission
  • Familiarity with legal work, law firms, and the metro Atlanta
    philanthropic community is a plus


    Commitment & Compensation

    SCHR seeks a commitment of at least three years. Salary is
    commensurate with experience, within SCHR's modest, public interest
    salary range of $50,000-$60,000. SCHR offers an excellent, 100%
    premium-paid benefits package including medical, dental, vision
    care, and life insurance. Additional benefits include modest
    stipends for transportation and wellness, access to a flexible
    spending account, and childcare assistance (if eligible).


    This position is in-person at our Atlanta office. Our office
    maintains a hybrid schedule, with staff required to be in-person
    three days of the week (absent travel, illness, or other excused
    absences), and flexibility to work remotely the remaining two days.
