Title:  Development Communications Lead
Location:  All Stars Project of New York, National Staff
Job Status:  Full-Time, Non-Exempt, Hybrid
Reports to:  Director of Annual Giving and Fundraising Operations
Salary range:  $55,000-62,000/ annualized ($ /hour)

Mission
Through the developmental power of performance, we transform the lives of youth from poor and underserved communities in partnership with caring adults, giving everyone the opportunity to grow.

Job Summary
The Development Communications Lead is a key member of the All Stars Project (ASP) Development team that raises $12 million annually for the organization.

This position provides donor-centered operational and fundraising support for three critical areas of our fundraising: Annual Giving; Development Communications; and ASP's 10-year Becoming All Stars expansion campaign. The national Annual Giving campaign is our broadest campaign that reaches thousands of individual supporters each year. The Becoming All Stars campaign—launched in 2018 and entered its public phase just recently—is on a mission to raise $150 million and reach 100,000 young people by 2027. As of December 2025, we have already raised $116.6 million and connected more than 63,000 young people to the transformative power of development-through-performance. 

The Development Communications Lead is a strong communicator, passionate about the power of philanthropy to change the world, and about elevating ASP's development team into its next phase of growth. They wear multiple hats across numerous fundraising functions and work closely with development colleagues in all five All Stars regions, playing an integral and key role in elevating our expansion campaign.

The position is a hybrid role and requires some in-person attendance in the ASP New York regional office. The Development Communications Lead reports to the Director of Annual Giving and Fundraising Operations (DAGFO).

  • Using cloud-based storage, identify and manage image inventory to be used in donor communications. 
  • Solicit and track quotes/endorsements from youth participants and supporters through interviews and staff input. 
  • Provide support in developing pre- and post-meeting reports and ghost writing for key donors, as identified by DAGFO. 
  • Serve as a key member of the Fundraising Operations team in all communications matters as they relate to fundraising tools or internal processes (drafting how-to guides, acknowledgement letters, and automated communications).

    • Annual Giving

  • Train the fundraising team in executing annual campaign elements.

  • Maintain and/or develop archive and inventory of all campaign and communications activity in SharePoint. 
  • Support expense management, ensuring vendor invoices are processed in a timely manner.
  • Support cultivation experiences for supporters to connect to ASP's youth development programs and young people.

    • Qualifications

  • At least two years of experience creating, implementing, and assessing audience-specific communications (nonprofit donor audience experience highly preferred).
  • Experience with annual fundraising techniques and practices (or comparable revenue-generating activities in another industry).
  • Understanding of poverty-related issues and a commitment to creating opportunities for underserved youth in outside of school contexts.
  • Proficiency in project management, including planning, prioritizing, organizing, and completing multiple tasks at the same time for multiple stakeholders.
  • Outstanding verbal and written communications skills.
  • Strong attention to detail.
  • Proven administrative skills in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook) or comparable email, document, and presentation platforms.
  • Experience in Raiser's Edge NXT, ResearchPoint, Zoom, Airtable, and Constant Contact (or comparable CRMs and project management systems) preferred.
  • Experience working with and managing cloud-based storage (Dropbox preferred).
  • Ability to interact and communicate professionally with individuals at all levels of the organization.
  • Discretion and sensitivity in handling and safeguarding confidential information.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience preferred.
  • Flexibility in schedule – some evenings are required for special events or other activities during peak season.
  • Ability to occasionally lift up to 10 pounds, carry, or move objects to set up for meetings, events, workshops, etc.
