The Role

The Fund Development Coordinator will be an integral part of CMCF’s fundraising and donor engagement efforts.

  • Is deeply connected to Birmingham and understands its people, businesses, and neighborhoods.
  • Has a passion for community impact and wants to grow with an organization making a difference.
  • Doesn’t need extensive fundraising experience but has the energy, charisma, and drive to learn this part of the nonprofit world.

Key Responsibilities

Fundraising & Donor Relations (Primary Focus)

  • Manage and execute fundraising initiatives, donor campaigns, and special events to support CMCF’s financial growth.

  • Assist in the planning and execution of CMCF’s Annual 5K Race (now in itsit’s 121th year!), fundraising luncheons, and donor appreciation events.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with individual donors, corporate sponsors, and community partners.
  • Identify and cultivate new donor prospects, researching individuals, businesses, and foundations that align with our mission.
  • Maintain a donor database, track engagement, and ensure timely acknowledgments and follow-ups.

Community & Public Relations Support (Secondary Focus)

  • Represent CMCF at neighborhood meetings, community events, and networking functions.

  • Serve as a liaison to county commissions, neighborhood leaders, and civic groups to increase awareness and engagement.
  • Support marketing efforts by coordinating social media and public relations initiatives that align with fundraising goals.

Who You Are

  • A natural conversationalist—you genuinely enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories.

  • Outgoing, personable, and comfortable networking in various settings.
  • Passionate about community health and nonprofit work—this isn’t just a job to you.
  • A Birmingham local (or deeply connected to Birmingham’s communities, businesses, and civic leaders).
  • A self-starter who can take initiative, but also a team player who collaborates well.
  • Detail-oriented and organized, capable of juggling multiple tasks and deadlines.
  • Excited about learning and growing in the nonprofit world, with an interest in long-term commitment rather than a short-term stepping stone.

Preferred Background

  • Education: A degree in public relations, communications, marketing, nonprofit management, business, or a related field OR relevant experience in fundraising, sales, marketing, or event planning.

  • Experience: No extensive fundraising experience required, but any experience in relationship-building, sales, event planning, or donor engagement is a plus.
  • Technical Skills: Comfortable with Google Suite/Microsoft Office, donor databases, social media platforms, and basic event coordination.
