This position manages grant reporting, collects and analyzes program outcomes, maintains development databases, supports grant writing efforts, and helps demonstrate the measurable impact of Alive's programs to funders and community partners.

Maintain donor and funder records.
Prepare materials for donor meetings and stewardship.
Assist with annual reports, fundraising campaigns, and board reporting.
Support prospect research and funding opportunities.

Administrative Responsibilities

Organize electronic grant files and documentation.
Maintain templates, reporting tools, and internal systems.
Assist with audits and compliance requests.
Collaborate across departments to ensure accurate and timely information.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in nonprofit management, communications, public administration, business, data analytics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
1+ years of experience in grants administration, nonprofit development, database management, or program evaluation preferred.
Excellent organizational and project management skills.
Strong writing, editing, and proofreading abilities.
Exceptional attention to detail.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office.
Experience with CRM/database systems (DASH, Salesforce, Bloomerang, Dash, Blackbaud, or similar) preferred.
Ability to analyze data and communicate findings clearly.
Ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously.

Preferred Skills

Grant writing experience.
Experience with nonprofit outcome measurement.
Knowledge of budgeting and grant compliance.
Familiarity with survey platforms and reporting tools.
Experience creating charts, graphs, and visual impact reports.

What Makes You Successful

You are:

Highly organized and dependable.
Naturally curious and analytical.
Passionate about using data to create impact.
Comfortable working independently while collaborating across teams.
Able to manage multiple priorities without sacrificing quality.
Committed to confidentiality and data accuracy.
Technologically savvy
