CEANYC Seeks Part Time Resource Coordinator (NYC)

–
CEANYC is hiring a Part Time Resource Coordinator to expand our organization’s fundraising and development! This person will work remotely (though must be based in NYC) and support CEANYC 10 hours a week with fundraising, communications, and other key development tasks. This position will be compensated $25-$50/hour depending on experience. There is ample room to grow in this position, and pending funding, hours and responsibilities may be expanded.

The Resource Coordinator will:

  • Participate in staff collective meetings, strategic planning, and Board meetings as requested

  • Oversee all aspects of development and delegated tasks to Board and volunteers: major donor cultivation and giving circle program, foundation prospecting, grant writing and reporting, program officer calls and meetings, corporate sponsorship, government funding, and membership dues

  • Oversee all aspects of fundraising communications including maintaining website, social media, newsletter, materials, and database

  • Oversee budget and accounting with support from Board, volunteers, and fiscal sponsor

  • Manage fiscal sponsor and donor advised fund relationships

Who We Are

We currently strengthen and expand our member businesses and networks through a microgrant program—the Solidarity Economy Giving Project—and three major programming areas: Leadership Development and Technical Assistance, Policy and Advocacy, and Research and Visibility.
