Apply for this opportunity if you are passionate about contributing to social impact and sustainability through strong research skills and teamwork in a multicultural environment.

Key Responsibilities

We are looking for 5 experienced Online Volunteers to support our fundraising team by researching potential donor organizations and open funding opportunities. Volunteers will work closely with our team to map possible sources of support for our ongoing projects and strategic initiatives.

Specific tasks include:

Assignment to begin in January 2026.

Required Skills and Experience

Experience in donor research, fundraising strategy, or nonprofit business analysis is desirable. Creativity, initiative, and the ability to work well in teams are valued. Experience in grant writing is not required, but strongly preferred for those interested in the optional proposal-writing task. International or cross-cultural experience is a bonus.
