🏢 About Innovations in Reproductive Healthcare Access

The Period Pills Project is a nonprofit expanding access to fertility control options that uphold reproductive freedom. Since 2018, they've worked through research, advocacy, education, coalition building, and provider outreach. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to reproductive justice in a mission-driven organization.

About This Role

As a Fundraising Consultant, you'll plan and execute two donor engagement events: an online funder information session and an in-person cultivation event. Your work will directly expand awareness and secure funding for reproductive health access. This contract role is fully remote and impactful.

A typical day might involve coordinating with vendors for the in-person event, drafting invitation copy for the online session, and updating the donor list. You'll also follow up with attendees, prepare materials, and have check-ins with the team to ensure timelines are on track.
