OVERVIEW OF PEARL PROMISE

Pearl Promise empowers single-parent families to build a stronger future by providing access to resources and informal support networks. We believe that single parents are some of the world’s most courageous people. Our programs—from Focus Moms and kid mentoring to car clinics—fill gaps in existing community safety nets by focusing on skill building and independence. As a Christ-centered organization, we are committed to ethically following biblical principles in all decisions and activities.

 

SUMMARY:

We are seeking an energetic, relationship-driven professional who is passionate about integrating faith with fundraising to create meaningful and lasting impact within our community. The Development Manager plays a vital role in advancing Pearl Promise’s mission by cultivating relationships, strengthening partnerships, and securing the resources necessary to support single-parent families.

 

This position has been created to expand Pearl Promise’s development capacity and works in close partnership with the Executive Director.

Current fundraising activities include one annual live fundraising event, an end-of-year fundraising campaign, donor cultivation and stewardship, church partnerships, community engagement, and ongoing donor communications.

 

The ideal candidate brings experience across multiple facets of nonprofit development, including donor cultivation and stewardship, event support, gift solicitation, database management, reporting, and fundraising strategy, and is energized by working collaboratively in a mission-driven, faith-based environment.
