Collaboration & Capacity Building

  • Experience: Minimum 10 years of proven success in nonprofit development and fundraising, including corporate sponsorships, major gifts, and grants.

  • Equity: Demonstrated experience working with and for under-served demographics and historically underinvested communities.

  • Network: Strong, established relationships across corporate, philanthropic, and public sectors in the Puget Sound region.

  • Independence: Highly organized, self-motivated, and able to manage multiple priorities with limited supervision.

  • Negotiation: Strong ability to advocate and negotiate on behalf of the organization.

  • Technical proficiency: Salesforce, Mailchimp, Microsoft Office Suite, SharePoint.

Preferred Qualifications


  • Deep connection to the Delridge neighborhood or lived experience within the community.
  • Background in community development, arts, environment, or affordable housing.
  • Experience managing small teams or coaching emerging fundraisers.
  • Creative, resourceful, and comfortable working in evolving environments.
  • Business-minded and data-driven with a heart for community impact.

Cultural Fit

DNDA’s team is collaborative, creative, and community-rooted.
 We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Resourceful, relational, and ready to “roll up their sleeves.”
  • Business-oriented yet deeply committed to community values.
  • Grounded, playful, and open to ambiguity.
  • Passionate about DNDA’s mission and the people we serve.
