Development Coordinator

CUP is committed to fostering equity and racial justice in the work we produce, the way we produce it, and the way we function as an organization. We seek to be an organization where people with different abilities and from different racial, ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds can thrive together, and where our practices create opportunities, not barriers, to achieving greater social justice.

In support of our commitment to achieving these goals, CUP strives to be a healthy, positive, and sustainable place to work. To that end, we provide free health insurance benefits, professional development opportunities, and a reasonable work schedule that allows our staff to have a healthy life both inside and outside of work. We are also committed to working together as a staff to better understand issues of race, equity, and justice and to continue to further our own education on how we engage with and address those issues as individuals and as an organization. We support all staff members in pursuing continuous professional development, and use our annual review process to identify individual goals for each year. This is a full-time, salaried position. The salary range for the position will be in the range of high $40,000s to low $50,000s, commensurate with experience, as well as a starting paid time off package of 15 personal days and 12 sick days. CUP is an 11-person organization with an annual budget of $1.2 million.

Our office is based in Gowanus, Brooklyn, but we work with community partners all over New York City and travel throughout the five boroughs regularly. This position may also entail occasional travel outside of New York City in the future, when it is safe to do so. Normal staff hours are 10 am to 6 pm, but our work requires occasional evening and weekend events, such as launch events, workshops, presentations, and fundraisers. Given the current situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all CUP staff are currently working remotely and will continue to do so until we feel safe returning to work. That means this will begin as a remote work position. However, the applicant must be in New York City and able to work from the CUP office when it reopens.

If you’re interested in the position, you can apply online via Submittable, by Monday, April 19th at noon Eastern time.

To apply, you will need to create an account on Submittable, fill in your contact information, and upload the following materials:

1. A cover letter, in which you address why you are interested in this position, how your experience qualifies you for it, and why you would like to work at CUP
2. A current resume
3. A short writing sample (3 pages maximum), preferably that demonstrates your ability to write in a communications or development context
4. A list of 3 references, with contact information. (No need to provide letters!)

Please note that we will NOT review applications that do not provide all requested materials.

No phone calls, please.
