  • Partner with Development Operations and Finance to ensure accurate financial tracking, reporting, and fiscal controls.

Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Nonprofit Management, Business Administration, Arts Administration, Philanthropy or a related field; or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience.
  • Five or more years of progressively responsible experience in event planning, volunteer management, fundraising, or a related field.
