Volunteer Fundraising / Development Committee Lead

Boomers Collaborative Foundation is an Austin-based nonprofit advancing a mixed-use, shared-equity housing model that helps older adults age in place together with dignity, stability, and mutual support. We are moving from founder-led development into broader board and volunteer leadership, and we are seeking committed volunteers who want to help build the systems, relationships, and community engagement needed to bring this model forward.

We are looking for people who care about this work and are willing to learn with us. Relevant experience is helpful, but passion, steadiness, and follow-through matter deeply.

This role is a good fit for someone who understands that early-stage nonprofit fundraising is relationship-based, strategic, and capacity-building. We are not looking for someone to “sell” a generic project. We need someone who can help us identify aligned funders, sponsors, donors, and partners who understand the urgency of senior housing, aging in place, economic security, and community-based innovation.

Primary responsibilities include:

• Help identify prospective funders, donors, sponsors, and aligned philanthropic partners
• Support outreach strategy and donor/funder follow-up
• Help organize fundraising priorities and timelines
• Work with board members to expand relationship-based fundraising
• Help shape realistic fundraising goals for an organization still building capacity
• Support grant and donor readiness in coordination with board leadership

Helpful experience:

• Fundraising, development, donor relations, sponsorships, grant strategy, or nonprofit advancement
• Comfort making introductions and helping cultivate relationships
• Strong communication and follow-through skills
• Interest in aging, housing affordability, cooperatives, social enterprise, or community development
• Respect for mission-driven work that is complex, systems-oriented, and still emerging

Time commitment:

Approximately 4–8 hours per month, depending on availability and active campaigns.

Location:

Austin-area preferred. Remote support may be possible for the right person.

Final Board and committee assignments are subject to Boomers Collaborative Foundation’s review and approval process.
