Data & Impact Coordinator (with Partnerships)

Full-Time | $55,000–$70,000/year | In-Person, Washington DC | Start Date: June 9, 2026

What Peace of Mind Does

Peace of Mind teaches kids how to understand themselves. We bring mindfulness-based social-emotional learning (SEL) to PreK–8 students across approximately 80 public schools in the DC area and our curriculum is being used in all 50 states and 44 countries. Our outcome data is strong. Our impact is real. And right now, no one is fully owning it.

What This Job Actually Is

Peace of Mind's most powerful fundraising asset is its data and this role exists to unlock it.

You will own two things that are deeply connected: the data that proves our work is working, and the development infrastructure that turns that data into funding. You'll collect and synthesize student and school outcome data, build the systems to track and report it, and translate it into the materials that move funders from curious to committed. You'll also manage the grants calendar, support donor stewardship, and make sure the ED walks into every funder meeting prepared.

This is both a data role and a fundraising role. The person who will thrive here is someone who understands that the best development work is built on evidence.

What Your Week Actually Looks Like

On any given week, you might:

• Pull together outcome data from three partner schools and turn it into a two-page impact brief for a funder meeting happening Friday
• Update the grants calendar and flag two upcoming deadlines the ED needs to know about
• Research a prospective donor before an ED outreach call — background, giving history, connection to SEL
• Draft a thank-you letter to a donor who gave at last week's fundraiser
• Plan and coordinate logistics for an upcoming fundraising event — from invites to setup to follow-up

Some weeks are data-heavy. Some weeks are development-heavy. Most weeks are both.

Your First 90 Days

Days 1–30: Audit what exists. Understand our data sources, our grants pipeline, our donor base, and our Salesforce setup. Start organizing what you find. Begin managing the grants calendar.

Days 30–60: Produce your first impact brief. Own at least one grant submission or funder report from start to finish. Start building or improving the data tracking system.

Days 60–90: The ED should be walking into funder meetings with materials you prepared. The grants calendar should be current. You should have a clear picture of what's in the pipeline and what needs attention.

You'll Thrive Here If…

• You believe data tells a story and you know how to tell it
• You're as comfortable in a spreadsheet as you are writing a compelling paragraph
• You like connecting dots across functions you don't see data and fundraising as separate
• You're a self-starter who can manage a project from start to finish without a lot of hand-holding
• You care about education and believe in the power of SEL to change outcomes for kids

This Isn't For You If…

• You want a clearly siloed role — this job crosses functions by design
• You're looking for a large team with deep administrative support — we are a small team and you'll be building systems, not inheriting them
• You need a lot of external deadlines to stay motivated — the grants calendar has real deadlines, but a lot of this work requires internal drive
• You're not local to DC or unwilling to be present in person — donor events, school visits, and fundraising activities require it

What's Hard About This Job

We have strong data but our data systems are not fully built out. You will be organizing and building as much as you are running. The grants pipeline is substantial (over $2M in active and upcoming applications) and there is no one currently dedicated to managing it. You'll be stepping into real urgency. That's an opportunity, but it's also a lot.

The Interview Process

1. Application review — resume and cover letter
2. 30-minute introductory call with the ED
3. A short take-home exercise — we'll ask you to look at some real (anonymized) data and tell us what you'd do with it
4. Final in-person conversation in DC

We move quickly. If you're a fit, you'll know within two weeks of applying.
