The Donor Relations Coordinator works directly with our amazing donors who keep us operating at 100 percent capacity. Detail-oriented, tech savvy, event experience and positive attitude are all musts for this position. With only five people and over a million dollars to raise each year, the Foundation demands everyone to pitch in to make this operation a success.
