The Role You’ll Play – Development Liaison

The Development Liaison provides essential administrative and project support to Pawnee Mental Health’s Marketing & Development Department. This role supports grant development activities, donor stewardship, fundraising efforts, and overall departmental operations.

Grant Support (Approximately 40%)

• Assist with researching grant opportunities and preparing supporting materials, including organizational backgrounds, program descriptions, and required attachments
   
• Maintain the grants calendar and organized digital files, tracking deadlines, submissions, awards, and reporting requirements
   
• Coordinate data, documents, and financial or program information needed for proposals and reports
   
• Support post-award tracking and documentation to ensure accurate records and timely reporting
   

Fundraising, Donor Relations & Administrative Support (Approximately 60%)

• Support donor stewardship efforts, including acknowledgements, thank-you letters, mailings, and impact communications
   
• Assist with fundraising activities and events, including preparation, coordination, and follow-up
   
• Maintain accurate donor and grant records in the CRM system and conduct basic donor or prospect research
   
• Provide administrative and coordination support to the Marketing & Development team, including scheduling meetings, preparing materials, and taking notes
   
• Assist with community outreach and donation requests under the guidance of department leadership and collaborate on additional initiatives as assigned
