    • Prepare compelling written proposals, informational materials, and support documentation for fundraising initiatives, assisting the Executive Director and Board in drafting giving policies, donor agreements, and naming-rights proposals.
    • Leverage existing fundraising events as opportunities to cultivate relationships with current and prospective donors, enhancing engagement and fostering a community of support.
    • Guide the strategic expansion of the volunteer program across four sites, in partnership with the Volunteer Program Manager and Volunteer Program Associate, to enhance community involvement and support for NYCP's mission.
