OVERVIEW

The mission of Citizens Committee for New York City(CitizensNYC) is to help New Yorkers come together and improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods. Since 1975, CitizensNYC has invested in community leadership to bring New Yorkers together and gives them the resources and power to create lasting change across all five boroughs of New York City. We support our network of hundreds of grassroots civic leaders and neighborhood business owners by providing leadership development opportunities, facilitating connections with city, community, and philanthropic stakeholders, and making approximately $1M in micro-grants to support more than 300 projects each year.

The Development Associate will report to the VP of Development, and will support four essential functions: (1) donor engagement and moves management, (2) data management, (3) donor and prospect research, and (4) events and communications. In addition, the Associate will also assist with office management tasks and perform other related duties.

This is a great opportunity if you are passionate about helping New Yorkers come together and improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods, highly organized and detail oriented, and looking to build experience in the social impact sector. The position requires a keen attention to detail, knowledge of databases, the ability to manage a range of tasks in a fast-paced environment, an eagerness to learn, and strong communication skills.

Please note that CitizensNYC operates a hybrid office, with work on site in the office 2 days per week, and flexibility to work from home or another remote location on non-office days. Several times each year we host on-site volunteer engagements and large leadership development events, as well as two annual evening fundraisers. All staff are expected to participate in these events.
