JCCGCI, Inc. is a community-based organization with a citywide impact, providing supportive human and social services that benefit all segments of the population.

• Conducting Prospect Research to identify and cultivate major gift prospects, as well as corporate and foundation prospects.

• 3 to 5 years of experience in nonprofit fundraising, with a proven track record of success in major gifts, corporate and foundation giving, and special events.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write compelling donor communications and marketing materials.
