How to Apply for Development Coordinator for International Org (Remote/Part-Time)

at SUNSAR MAYA INC

🏢 About SUNSAR MAYA INC

Sunsar Maya is a mission-driven nonprofit that directly serves vulnerable women and children in Nepal through education, mental health, and community programs. With three centers supporting over 500 people daily, you'll join a small, dedicated team where your work has tangible impact on lives. The remote, part-time nature offers flexibility while contributing to a cause that transforms communities.

About This Role

As Development Coordinator, you'll be the engine behind donor growth—prospecting individuals, nurturing community partners, and reviving peer-to-peer fundraising. Your work directly fuels programs that break the cycle of poverty, making every outreach and event a step toward lasting change.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with reviewing a CRM to identify new prospects, then drafting personalized emails for cold outreach. Midday, you could coordinate logistics for an upcoming virtual event and follow up with past attendees. Afternoons might involve researching foundations or updating donor communications, all while collaborating with the team via Slack and weekly Zoom check-ins.
