Indianapolis, IN
Full Time
Entry Level

Full-Time | Paid Training + Weekly Bonuses | Mission-Driven Work

Are you ready to build a career that creates real community impact? We’re hiring an Entry-Level Business Development & Donor Relations Assistant to support community fundraising campaigns, public outreach, and nonprofit engagement initiatives.

This role is perfect for a people-oriented professional—whether you’re a recent graduate, career switcher, or someone with a heart for purpose-driven work. You’ll gain real-world experience in nonprofit strategy, donor engagement, and campaign execution, all while working with a collaborative, growth-minded team.


🛠️ Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist in the planning and execution of live fundraising events, retail pop-ups, and community outreach campaigns

  • Represent respected nonprofit partners at local festivals, events, and high-traffic public spaces

  • Conduct campaign research and track trends in donor behavior, giving patterns, and nonprofit development

  • Support marketing rollout and event logistics, ensuring materials, timelines, and execution align with campaign goals

  • Foster strong donor relationships through in-person conversations and follow-up communication strategies


What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong verbal communicator with a friendly, donor-first mindset

  • Highly organized, detail-driven, and able to multitask in a fast-paced environment

  • Passionate about social causes, community building, and nonprofit outreach

  • A self-starter who thrives in both team-based and independent settings

  • Flexible schedule with availability for some evenings and weekends

  • Experience in fundraising, customer service, event work, or volunteerism is a plus—but not required


🎁 Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive hourly pay with weekly bonuses and uncapped incentives

  • Paid training in donor engagement, nonprofit communications, and campaign strategy

  • Travel opportunities to regional nonprofit conferences, team retreats, and fundraising events

  • Health & wellness plan for eligible team members

  • Regular team outings, recognition programs, and leadership-building opportunities

  • An inclusive, mission-driven team culture where your voice and work truly matter


🌟 Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Work directly with nationally recognized nonprofit organizations to drive fundraising success

  • Support causes like education access, health equity, climate justice, and more

  • Build in-demand skills in business development, nonprofit relations, and public outreach

  • Join a culture that values purpose as much as performance


🤝 Our Team Philosophy:

We believe we’re stronger together. Great leaders lead from behind—supporting their team, empowering others, and helping every individual reach their full potential. We promote excellence through a collaborative environment that encourages growth, learning, and innovation.

Our reputation for charity fundraising excellence reflects the passion, professionalism, and dedication felt at every level of our firm. We're proud to extend the reach of nonprofits and help them surpass their funding goals—because their mission becomes our mission.
