Hours: ~20 hours/week; flexible schedule including occasional evenings and weekends; potential to develop into .75 or 1 FTE position

Compensation: $21-$24/hour DOE

The Development Coordinator’s immediate priority will be the capital campaign, launching in Summer 2019, with a primary ongoing focus on donor stewardship. The Development Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring that all donors feel acknowledged and are encouraged to deepen their connection with Coyote. The DC will also take ownership of the annual development plan and appeal, and will support existing Coyote fundraising events such as the annual auction and monthly guest chef events.

Over 1,700 young people ages 10 to 16 come to Coyote Central year-round for 20-hour hands-on workshops with professional artists, chefs, furniture makers, fashion designers, metal artists, animators, dancers, filmmakers, and many other creative people.

Our main campus is in the Central District, but we are planning a second site in Lake City, with a goal to launch programs there in 2020. That capital project will require a $2.4 million capital campaign to fund the building purchase/renovation and the capacity building required to launch programming at Coyote North.
