Fundraising Coordinator

Save to Favorites

We are at a pivotal stage of our development, starting to gain more traction and grow our organization. We are driven by the belief that every person is worthy and deserves an opportunity. Soul Tea Foundation focuses on removing the barriers that keep individuals from believing in themselves and reaching their full potential. Many individuals merely struggle to exist and endure their current circumstances. We exist to help them move from that place, to a place where they are developing, succeeding, and flourishing in every aspect of their life. We are proud to provide training and mentorship through our Soul Tea Success Path.

We are looking for support from a person(s) who has experience in the fundraising world or is keen to gain the experience. Preferably someone who has experience with grants, what is available and how to approach donors, but who also can be creative in starting fundraising campaigns. This will be a joint volunteer role with our fundraising committee chair person. Due to the commitment involved, this position may be a good fit for a retiree looking to utilize their previous career skills through volunteer work or a college student thriving to exceed in their field through sheer passion or externship hours. This position would be a true commitment to a thoroughly researched need for Tarrant County and the Greater Fort Worth area.
