    Description

    The Volunteer Development Associate/Intern supports the fundraising and development functions of Limitless Disability Services, a licensed nonprofit adult day program serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Cherokee County, Georgia. This role is well suited for individuals with a background or interest in nonprofit development, grant writing, donor relations, or fundraising strategy who want to apply their skills in a mission-driven environment.

    This is a flexible, largely remote role that offers meaningful hands-on experience with the full development cycle — from donor research and campaign support to event coordination and data management.

    What You'll Do

    As a Volunteer Development Associate, you will:

    • Research and identify prospective donors, grant opportunities, and funding sources aligned with the Limitless mission
    • Support the development and implementation of fundraising campaigns and donor outreach initiatives
    • Assist with donor stewardship activities, including acknowledgment letters, thank-you correspondence, and donor recognition efforts
    • Help maintain and update the donor database to ensure accurate, current records
    • Contribute to the planning and execution of fundraising events, including logistics, promotion, and volunteer coordination
    • Research fundraising best practices, emerging trends, and sector-specific strategies to inform organizational planning
    • Assist in analyzing campaign performance data and preparing summary reports
    • Collaborate with staff and leadership on creative fundraising concepts and proposals
    • Provide general administrative support to the development function as needed

    What to Expect

    You will work closely with Limitless leadership and have the opportunity to see how a growing nonprofit manages development across multiple funding streams — including Medicaid waivers, individual donors, corporate sponsorships, and grant funding. This is a high-impact role: Limitless is actively expanding its programs and physical campus, and the development work you contribute to will directly support that growth.

    Benefits

    • Eligibility for the President's Volunteer Service Award, a nationally recognized honor for volunteer contributions
    • Documentation provided for community service hours or academic credit
    • Remote work available for most responsibilities
    • Direct mentorship and professional development in nonprofit operations and fundraising

    Skills and Qualities We're Looking For

    • Genuine commitment to disability inclusion and the mission of Limitless
    • Experience with grant writing, donor communications, or fundraising — or a strong willingness to develop these skills independently
    • Strong written communication and research skills
    • Attention to detail, particularly in data entry and record-keeping
    • Ability to work independently and manage tasks with minimal supervision
