  • Identify and qualify new donor prospects from research, community connections, peer networks, and internal

  • Partner with the AVP of Community Giving, CDO, and Institutional Giving (Grants) team on philanthropic
    opportunities for the YSIC, contributing donor intelligence and community relationships to support aligned
    strategy.

Donor Communications & Stewardship Content
  • Serve as the primary voice of the donor relationship for YSIC, ensuring all stewardship communications

  • Collaborate with the Community Giving and MarCom teams to develop and refine YSIC-specific donor
    communications-including impact updates, stewardship letters, and campaign appeals-by contributing
    YSIC program context, donor feedback, and community narrative.
  • Provide input and review for YSIC content across fundraising platforms, social media, web, and event
    materials to ensure accuracy, donor relevance, and alignment with the YSIC's voice and community.
  • Support the creation of personalized stewardship for portfolio donors in partnership with the Community
    Giving team, ensuring communications reflect each donor's history, interests, and connection to YSIC
    programs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Serve as the primary Financial Development liaison to the YSIC, participating in relevant leadership and
    planning conversations as a collaborative partner and philanthropic resource.
  • Partner with the VP of Social Impact, program directors, and branch leaders to stay current on YSIC

  • Represent the YSIC at community events, partner convenings, and donor gatherings as an ambassador for

Data Management & Reporting
  • Utilize YGS's donor management system (CRM) to maintain accurate, current records of all donor

  • Track portfolio progress against revenue goals and provide regular reports to the AVP of Community Giving

  • Conduct prospect research to build and expand the YSIC donor pipeline.
  • Ensure data integrity for all YSIC donor records, lists, and communications in coordination with the Donor
