  • Investigate and pursue local, state, and federal funding opportunities
  • Establish new partnerships with community organizations, corporate sponsors, and postsecondary institutions with our CEO
  • Plan and execute fundraising events, including managing logistics, securing sponsorships, and coordinating volunteers
