Development Consultant

Green Card Voices is seeking a Development Consultant to lead and execute our individual giving and sponsorship fundraising efforts. This time-limited consulting role is focused on increasing contributed revenue while building fundraising approaches that GCV can sustain beyond the consultant’s term. The Development Consultant will combine strategy with hands-on fundraising, actively cultivating middle and major gift individual donors, securing sponsorships, and leading key fundraising campaigns such as Give to the Max Day in November, end-of-year fundraising, and the Becoming Neighbors event.
