Summary
Description
All Roads (formerly Boulder Shelter for the Homeless) has been a fixture in the community since 1982, providing a bed, meals, services, and a bit of dignity to those experiencing homelessness in our community. Today, our mission is to create avenues to stable housing for our community’s homeless adults, from a foundation of supportive and safe shelter. All Roads has a strong culture of collaboration, communication, compassion, dignity, and support, which yields an inclusive and engaging dynamic within the organization.
All Roads is seeking a creative, confident, detail-oriented individual to serve as the lead staff member on a variety of major donor and other fundraising functions, as assigned by the Chief Development and Communications Officer (CDCO). This is primarily a creative fundraising position, with additional responsibilities in the data processing and formal communications areas. While All Roads is the central homeless solutions agency for Boulder County, and is about three quarters funded by municipal dollars, it has an ambitious private fundraising agenda to allow it to meet the growing challenge of homelessness in Boulder County.
We are looking for a professional with nonprofit fundraising experience and a desire to create new fundraising projects in an entrepreneurial atmosphere. A commitment to the principles and issue area that All Roads represents is crucial.
