Development & Community Outreach Coordinator

SUMMARY :

The Development & Community Outreach Coordinator supports the fundraising, stewardship, and community engagement activities that make VAMMR’s work possible. Reporting to the Development Director and working closely with the Senior Manager of VAMMR, this role plays a key coordination function within a small, collaborative team.

The Coordinator is responsible for the day-to-day execution of several donor and community programs, supporting strong relationships with donors, partners, and community supporters through thoughtful stewardship, well-organized initiatives, and accurate administrative systems.
