A Call to Action
To community, family, friends, and professional colleagues
Who We Are Looking For:
A MARKETING/ FUNDRAISING MANAGER that can successfully promote, pitch, and raise funds for our flagship arts education program ‘TEACH to EMPOWER’, which begins in January 2025.
This super-star would be able to quickly build a marketing and fundraising strategy that will generate interest and donations for our start-up fund as well as sustained contributions to support on-going development of new educational programs.
Required Skills and Qualifications
Proven success in developing awareness, marketing and fundraising plans and campaigns for non-profit organizations
Strong written and verbal communication skills along with grant writing and funding proposals experience
Organized with project management skills and a metrics-driven marketing mindset
Eye for creativity, attention to detail, and innovative thinking (ideas)
Solid Knowledge/Proficiency of Digital Marketing: SEO, SEM, CRM tools, Social Media, and Analytics
Adaptability, with problem solving capabilities and a ‘get it done’ attitude
Personable with an ability to professionally interact and present to CSR Managers/ Directors of Corporate Philanthropy and to develop solid relationships
Event Planning and PR experience would be a bonus
Pay: Part-Time, $32-36/hour, 15-20 hours per week with remote work flexibility
Having high energy, self-motivation and experience in grant writing/ fund-raising is a plus along with the desire to get in on a ground floor effort to help grow a charitable organization that could soon offer this job as a full-time position. The job entails closely working with the Executive Director to build and implement a strategy for immediately securing start-up funds and maintaining them through the duration of the program. This position is hybrid with options to work from home with the need to attend in person meetings once a week and/or zoom calls as needed.
Compensation for time spent in this position will be paid once a minimum of $45k is raised/secured. Amounts over this will be used to sustain this position long term and to purchase equipment, run the program and to sustain faculty and staff/personnel for one fiscal year, from January ’24 through December of 2025.
Going Forward:
Additional donations, sponsorships and grant funds raised will go towards supporting and maintaining the first in a series of ‘Digital Storytelling & Production’ classes, 12 weeks in length, starting in mid-January, continuing through mid-April 2025. Funds will be used towards the purchase and maintenance of cameras, lighting, sound equipment and software, a venue for the screening of student projects, and the hiring of one educator and two staff members. The initial funds raised will provide us with a kickstart so that we may raise additional funds and support to implement a consistent, on-going, and expandible program through the course of the year and beyond. Ideally, all educational efforts will subsequently be self-generating through on-going sponsorships, donations, and grants with $150k as a yearly target.

Good News!
Our beginning class session, Digital Storytelling and Production I, has been officially approved and sanctioned by the Bexar County Juvenile Probation Department (BCJPD) and is scheduled to start on the second week of January and continue through mid-April at Juvenile Justice Academy in San Antonio, TX. The initial class size is 10 students ranging in age between 13-18 and is predicted to grow as demand increases and we hire and train more faculty.
Donations are badly needed to support this initial program launch!
