About The Position

Mainstream Nonprofit Solutions is hiring a Fund Development Specialist—all you need is a bachelor’s degree and two years of experience in fund development, sales, community engagement, or a similar externally focused role. We’ll teach you the rest!

In this role, you will build relationships within the agency and the community. You’ll attend community events, visit TFI offices to learn about local programs, and meet with potential funders. You will lead fundraising events, coordinate internal parties, and foster relationships with current and potential sponsors. If grant writing is a strength, this will be an exciting opportunity for you!

We need someone who loves connecting with people, is a creative problem-solver, and is passionate about helping children and families.
