Development Associate

New Leaf Behavioral Health is looking for a Development Associate to help us share our story and grow our community of supporters. This role is a great fit for someone who is early in their career or looking to transition into the nonprofit world. You’ll be the voice of the organization across our digital platforms and the hub for our fundraising efforts.

We’re looking for someone who is creative, organized, and genuinely enjoys connecting with people. If you’re a strong communicator who is ready to learn the ropes of nonprofit development, marketing, and public relations, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities

• Digital Storytelling: Manage our social media presence and monthly newsletters. You’ll create engaging content that highlights our mission, updates our community on our activities, and keeps New Leaf top-of-mind for our supporters.
• Donor Outreach: Assist in making "the ask." You’ll help coordinate fundraising appeals and reach out to potential donors to share how their contributions make an impact.
• Supporter Stewardship: Ensure our donors feel appreciated. You’ll be responsible for timely follow-ups, thank-you notes, and maintaining positive relationships with the people who support our work.
• Administrative Support: Handle the "behind-the-scenes" mechanics of fundraising, including processing donations, updating our CRM (donor database), and ensuring our records are accurate and transparent.
• Content Creation: Help draft blogs, press releases, and promotional materials that increase awareness of our services and our impact on the community.

Qualifications

• Communication Skills: You should be a strong writer and a confident talker. Whether it’s a caption for a post or a donor email, you know how to strike the right tone.
• Tech Savvy: You’re comfortable with social media platforms and eager to learn tools like email marketing software and CRM databases.
• Personable & Proactive: You enjoy building relationships and aren’t afraid to pick up the phone or initiate a conversation.
• Willingness to Learn: You don’t need a decade of experience, but you do need an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to grow your skillset on the job.
• Mission-Driven: A genuine interest in the mental health community and our goal of providing affordable, effective care is essential.

Currently listed as a part-time, salaried position, but growth to full-time would be an option with the right candidate. Please email a resume and cover letter for consideration. We look forward to hearing from you!
