You will assist a Major Gifts Officer with research into funding opportunities for a variety of Advancement initiatives. Your work will support scholarships, research, professional development, capital projects, and new initiatives that have never been done at Evergreen all while you build skills in fund development. Duties may include researching new organizations that might be interested in supporting Evergreen, helping create new grant prioritization processes, grant reporting, foundation inquiries, aligning Evergreen initiatives with foundations’ priorities and other duties as assigned.
