Current Openings & Opportunities
Donor Relations Associate
The Donor Relations Associate plays an important role in growing and strengthening Open Arms’ community of individual supporters. Working closely with the Development Director and Communications Team (Communications & Advocacy Lead and Communications Coordinators), this position helps attract new donors, deepen relationships with existing supporters, and build sustainable individual giving that advances Open Arms’ mission.
This is an opportunity for a creative, relationship-oriented, and organized fundraiser who enjoys turning ideas into action. The Donor Relations Associate implements donor engagement and fundraising initiatives, identifies opportunities to connect with supporters in new ways, and contributes ideas to strengthen the effectiveness of our individual giving program. From growing the monthly giving program to welcoming new donors, monitoring matching gift activity, supporting fundraising appeals, and creating meaningful stewardship experiences, this role helps supporters understand the impact of their generosity and find meaningful ways to invest in Open Arms’ work.
We’re looking for someone who takes initiative, enjoys experimenting with new approaches, and is motivated to learn from results. The ideal candidate brings experience in individual giving or donor relations, strong organizational skills, and the creativity to suggest improvements and help bring them to life. Alongside donor engagement, this position maintains the data, systems, and processes that support effective fundraising and thoughtful donor stewardship.
