Short-Term Skilled Volunteer: Fundraising Planning & Timeline Build

Africa Matters Initiative (AMI) is seeking a skilled volunteer to support the development of a clear, practical 12-month fundraising calendar and implementation timeline. AMI is a youth-led organization working across 23 African countries to empower young people—particularly women and those facing systemic barriers—to lead change in their communities through leadership development, social entrepreneurship, and advocacy.

This short-term, project-based opportunity is ideal for a professional with experience in fundraising, strategy, consulting, or nonprofit development who is interested in contributing their skills to a high-impact, mission-driven organization.

Responsibilities include collaborating with AMI’s leadership team to review existing fundraising approaches; mapping key fundraising moments across a 12-month period; aligning fundraising efforts with programs, communications, and impact milestones; and developing a clear, realistic timeline that includes preparation, launch, follow-up, and donor stewardship phases. The final deliverable will be a user-friendly fundraising calendar that AMI’s team can immediately implement.

Qualifications include experience or familiarity with nonprofit fundraising, donor engagement, or strategic planning; strong organizational and analytical skills; the ability to translate complex information into clear, actionable plans; and comfort working collaboratively with a small, distributed team. Prior experience with youth-focused or social impact organizations is a plus but not required.

This opportunity requires a commitment of approximately 2–5 hours per week over 2–4 weeks and is well-suited for professionals seeking a meaningful, time-bound volunteering experience.
