About The Position

Praxis is a growing nonprofit organization focused on supporting Christian entrepreneurs and innovators.

They aim to be a great place to work, excellent in their craft, and redemptive in their operations. This role is a strategic enabler for Praxis's capital community, strengthening development and capital program operations to steward funder relationships. The Associate for Capital will bridge fundraising operations and program execution to ensure deeper partnership and sustained engagement with funders.
