Fundraising Support Volunteer

Who we are

Camp Kirk is pure magic-a little world tucked away where kids who’ve always felt like they didn’t quite "fit in" and discover that they belong. It’s a vibrant place where differences aren’t just accepted-they’re celebrated. We strive to ensure that every camper leaves with brighter eyes, a lighter heart, and the unshakable knowledge that they are enough-just as they are. That’s the magic of Camp Kirk.

Camp Kirk empowers neurodivergent children and youth to reach new heights and achieve personal growth by providing uniquely tailored recreational and mentorship programs. Our small group environment and non-competitive programming creates a safe space where kids can be their authentic selves.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on donations from corporations, foundations, and individuals to ensure no child misses out on our camp experiences due to financial barriers.

Position Overview

We are looking for four Fundraising Support Volunteers to join the fundraising committee. As part of the committee, volunteers will play a key role in planning and executing events and activities that support neurodivergent youth and foster a sense of belonging. Volunteers will collaborate closely with the leadership team to develop and implement a fundraising strategy. Volunteers will work alongside a dedicated team, helping to organize key events such as the Camp Kirk Kick-Off, Tri Kirk Cup, and Camp Kirk Gala.

Benefits

This is a meaningful opportunity to support neurodivergent children while developing valuable skills in fundraising, community engagement, and nonprofit development. You will work alongside a dedicated team of volunteers, gaining hands-on experience in outreach, donor relations, and event planning.

Time Commitment

· Attend a 1-hour virtual meeting on the second Tuesday of each month at 12:00 PM Eastern.

· Stay engaged on Slack by regularly checking for updates and discussions.

· Complete 3-5 stewardship actions per month, such as making donor calls, writing thank-you notes, or sending emails.

Qualifications
