Help Grow the Support That Makes Our Mission Possible

The Undies Project provides new underwear and bras to people in need through partnerships with nonprofit organizations. We are looking for an enthusiastic, organized, and relationship-focused volunteer to help strengthen our fundraising efforts, build donor relationships, and grow the financial support that makes our work possible.

This is a meaningful opportunity to use your fundraising, event planning, and relationship-building skills to make a direct impact in our community.

About the Role

As Director of Development & Donor Relations, you'll oversee fundraising campaigns, donor relationships, sponsorship opportunities, and fundraising events that support our mission.

You'll work closely with the Managing Director, event chairs, committees, and supporting volunteers to coordinate these efforts. You'll provide leadership and guidance while sharing responsibilities with a team of volunteers. You won't be expected to do everything yourself!

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain an annual fundraising and events calendar.
• Lead the planning and coordination of our Annual Appeal.
• Oversee fundraising campaigns, including online giving initiatives.
• Coordinate fundraising events with event chairs, committees, sponsors, and volunteers.
• Build and maintain relationships with individual donors, corporate supporters, and sponsors.
• Maintain accurate donor and contribution records.
• Coordinate acknowledgment letters, thank-you notes, and donor appreciation efforts.
• Identify opportunities for continued giving, corporate partnerships, and event sponsorships.
• Coordinate grant research, applications, and reporting with designated volunteers and board members.
• Work with the Managing Director to promote fundraising initiatives.
• Communicate event staffing needs to the Director of Volunteer & Community Engagement.
• Track fundraising progress and provide brief updates to the management team and Board.

What We're Looking For

• Strong communication, organizational, and relationship-building skills.
• Experience in fundraising, event planning, donor relations, sponsorships, or nonprofit development is helpful.
• Comfortable coordinating projects, working with volunteers, and managing multiple activities.
• Ability to build relationships with individuals, businesses, and community supporters.
• Dependable, collaborative, and comfortable taking initiative.
• A commitment to helping others and supporting our mission.

Time Commitment

Approximately 3–5 hours per week, with some additional flexibility around fundraising campaigns and events. Many responsibilities can be handled remotely, with occasional in-person meetings and events in the Greenwich area.

This is an unpaid volunteer leadership position reporting to the Managing Director. The role includes participation in a monthly management team meeting.
