About The Position

New Futures is a dynamic local nonprofit with a unique approach to fighting inequity: We believe fiercely that shorter-term credentials – associate degrees or professional certifications – are an effective launch point toward rewarding, fulfilling careers. New Futures invests in our scholars with a deliberate combination of scholarships, academic and career advising, access to transformative professional networks, and a lot of heart as they jumpstart careers they love in high-growth fields that will lead to financial security and more equitable futures for all. Since our founding in 1999, we have worked with over 861 scholars and awarded over $7.8 million in post-secondary scholarships. Our impact is clear: 86% of Scholars persist or complete their programs and 54% graduate with no educational debt. Scholars primarily pursue careers in Information Technology, Health Sciences, Business, Education, Public Service, Construction & Trades, and Hospitality & Culinary Arts. As we look to the future, we are scaling our efforts to strengthen our Scholar community, deepen alumni engagement, and enhance partnerships that drive systemic change. The Development Coordinator (part-time) plays an administrative cross-functional role that supports donor stewardship, internal systems, fundraising event support and executive coordination.

This individual serves as the backbone of operational excellence across development, ensuring timely data entry, accurate financial tracking, and consistent donor communications.
