This might be an excellent opportunity for you!

CROSO is seeking individuals with knowledge of fundraising principles and practices, including major gifts, planned giving, and grant writing to join our Development Committee. Development Committee members will work collaboratively with CROSO's executive director to develop and implement fundraising strategies and activities to support CROSO's goal of ensuring a brighter future for former street children in Uganda through higher education. CROSO has a budget of $200K and only two staff members, so committee members have an opportunity to make a substantial contribution.

• Attend regular Development Committee meetings, contribute to discussions, and help develop and implement fundraising strategies and activities.
• Assist with the development and implementation of an annual fundraising plan that aligns with the organization's strategic plan and fundraising goals.
• Work with the executive director to identify and cultivate relationships with individual, corporate, and foundation donors and prospects.
• Assist with the planning and execution of fundraising events, campaigns, and initiatives, including solicitation materials, donor recognition, and stewardship activities.
• Participate in prospect research and donor database management to identify and track potential donors and their giving history.
• Help develop and implement strategies for donor engagement and retention, including regular communication and updates to donors and stakeholders.
• Provide input and feedback on fundraising strategies and activities to ensure they align with the organization's mission and values.
• Maintain confidentiality of donor information and adhere to ethical standards.

More about CROSO:

CROSO is dedicated to making possible the transformation of Ugandan communities by providing post-secondary education scholarships to former street children in Uganda.

We believe providing our scholars with access to higher education gives them the tools to provide for themselves and their families for the rest of their lives. Our scholarship is unique in that our scholars can study at any post-secondary institution in Uganda (university, college or technical school) and can pursue a course that is specific to their skills, talents and dreams. Armed with the academic skills, career skills (learned through their internships) and a new professional network, our graduates have the ability to become leaders in their communities!
