Development Associate with Restorative Justice Nonprofit – INSIGHT-OUT

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
The Development Associate will work closely with both the Founding Director and the Executive Director in three primary areas:
Support and Grow our Individual and Major Donor Program
Sustain and Grow a Larger Foundation and Government Grants Program
Build Fund Development Systems and Infrastructure

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:
You love raising money and have experience in a non-profit (or business development) setting already. This role includes strengthening and growing a fund development program from one that is largely informal and held by the Founder to one that has a solid infrastructure enabling the organization to quickly grow and scale.
You can work with a large range of different people. You can comfortably collaborate with people from all walks of life, including high net-worth individuals, formerly incarcerated people, government officials, and a diverse team of volunteer facilitators.
You know how to create/manage projects, systems, processes and tools. In this role, you will be developing infrastructure and processes for our fund development program, including a funder database and tracking/management tools. We are run as a distributed organization, and wish to improve on our web based infrastructure. Your familiarity with data and modern communication technologies and funder databases will be important.
You can self-manage and be flexible where you work, in the CA Bay Area. The office is in Fremont, CA and our Founding Director, who is our lead fundraiser, is in Woodacre, CA. This job can be done partially at home. Expectation: 2 days/week physically at the Fremont office, and probably one face-to-face meeting in Woodacre each week.
You will resonate deeply with the work we do. Our organization is about transforming lives and you will likely have a sense of introspection and practices of self-reflection, or at least an interest in it! We work hard to live what we teach, and are looking for someone who can engage as a part of our team.
