Fundraising Team Lead

Help Me Save My Friends!

Hi… I’m Prince #4995 ~ okay, technically I had help typing this! I hear the humans at Golden Rescue need a fundraising leader…someone with great ideas and a bit of experience, to help raise money so more Goldens like me can be saved.  They’re already pretty good at fundraising…but they need someone to lead the pack and sniff out new opportunities ~ like grants, corporate sponsorships, and creative ideas that we haven’t thought of yet.  And, you don’t have to do it alone ~ we can build a team of lovely humans to help.  But you do need to be the kind of person who says, “Hey, I’ve got an idea…let’s try this!”  If that sounds like you…please step up because there are a lot of wagging tails depending on it.

Time commitment:  approximately 5-10 hours per month
