About Army Pink

Army Pink is a survivor-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit connecting survivors of domestic violence with safe transportation and resources that support healing and a path forward.

Through our Pathway to Freedom model, our programs include Freedom Rides and the Wellness Portal. We are building partnerships, expanding our community presence, and developing the relationships needed to sustain and grow our work.

We are seeking a proactive, organized Donor, Sponsor & Community Outreach Volunteer to help meet critical organizational needs through research, relationship-building, fundraising outreach, and partnership development.

About the role

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys researching organizations and individuals, identifying potential supporters, making professional connections, and helping turn promising leads into meaningful partnerships.

You will not simply compile lists or make recommendations. You will actively conduct outreach, initiate conversations, follow up with prospective supporters, and help build a pipeline of potential donors, sponsors, collaborators, and community partners.

Your work will directly support Army Pink’s fundraising and organizational growth, with an immediate focus on Los Angeles.

Key responsibilities

• Donor and fundraising research: Identify prospective individual donors, major donors, philanthropic supporters, family foundations, and other potential funding sources aligned with Army Pink’s mission.
• Corporate sponsorships: Research businesses, corporate social responsibility programs, employee giving programs, and companies that may be interested in sponsoring or supporting Army Pink.
• Influencer and creator outreach: Identify relevant influencers, content creators, public figures, and advocates who may help raise awareness, share Army Pink’s work, or support fundraising campaigns.
• Los Angeles community outreach: Research and contact local organizations, community leaders, businesses, civic groups, and potential strategic partners.
• City and public-sector outreach: Identify relevant Los Angeles city officials, district offices, public agencies, and community representatives for potential introductions, meetings, letters of support, and partnership discussions.
• Research and prospect development: Build organized prospect lists with contact information, relevant background, potential alignment, and recommended next steps.
• Direct outreach and follow-up: Draft personalized emails and messages, initiate contact, track responses, follow up professionally, and help arrange introductory meetings.
• Relationship and pipeline tracking: Maintain clear records of contacts, outreach activity, responses, and next steps so the team can coordinate and build on progress.
• Team coordination: Work with Army Pink’s leadership and fundraising and outreach team to prioritize prospects, share findings, and move promising relationships forward.

Who we’re looking for

You may be a great fit if you are resourceful, organized, comfortable communicating professionally, and motivated to help a growing nonprofit establish important relationships.

Helpful skills and experience include:

• Influencer, creator, or public relations outreach
• Community engagement or partnership development
• Government, civic, or public-sector research
• Professional writing, email communication, and follow-up
• Contact management, spreadsheets, or CRM tools

You do not need experience in every area. We welcome people with relevant professional experience, students interested in nonprofit development, and motivated volunteers who can demonstrate strong research, communication, and follow-through skills.

What success looks like

• A well-organized pipeline of qualified donor, sponsor, influencer, and community prospects
• Consistent, personalized outreach to prospective supporters
• Follow-up that helps move conversations toward donations, sponsorships, introductions, and partnerships
• Better visibility into potential funding sources and community relationships across Los Angeles
• Reliable documentation that allows Army Pink’s team to continue developing each relationship

What you’ll gain

• Direct experience in nonprofit fundraising, outreach, and partnership development
• The opportunity to contribute to the growth of a survivor-led nonprofit
• Experience working with a team building programs, partnerships, and fundraising capacity
• An opportunity to apply your professional skills to work with a tangible community impact

Time commitment and support

This is an ongoing volunteer opportunity with a flexible schedule. We are looking for someone who can contribute consistently, work independently, communicate progress, and follow through on agreed-upon priorities.

Army Pink’s leadership and team will provide mission context, direction, outreach priorities, and relevant materials.
