Living Tree Alliance, a cooperative farm, educational nonprofit, and Jewish cohousing community in Moretown, Vermont, is growing. We're looking for a part-time Donor & Grant Manager to help us deepen relationships with our supporters and bring in new funding for our programs.

The role

Living Tree Alliance is a small nonprofit looking to grow in the coming years, and the foundation for that growth is already in place.

The Donor & Grant Manager will help our co-directors and board deepen relationships with donors and secure new ones. This person will build and maintain the systems that track every donor and funder contact, make sure no relationship goes quiet, and lead the search for new grants for our educational programs, festival programs rooted in the rhythm of Jewish life, and fellowships.

You'll receive ongoing mentorship from a long-time friend of Living Tree Alliance with professional experience in the foundation world, including guidance on funder strategy, proposal writing, and donor stewardship.

What you'll do

Individual donor cultivation (about 25%)

• Build and maintain a donor tracking system for our ~100 donors who give $250+ per year: giving history, last contact, relationship owner, interests, and next steps.
• Prepare a monthly "who to contact" list for the co-directors and board members, with suggested touchpoints (thank-you calls, farm visits, festival invitations, program updates).
• Adapt general LTA communications into individualized updates for donors and foundations.
• Identify donors ready to increase their giving, and help leadership plan those conversations.

Foundation and corporate stewardship (about 40%)

• Keep a grants calendar for our 16 current foundation and corporate funders: renewal dates, reporting deadlines, and contact history.
• Draft renewal proposals and grant reports on time, using program data from staff.
• Look for opportunities to grow existing grants or expand them to new programs.

New grant pipeline (about 25%)

• Research and qualify foundations that fund outdoor and place-based education, Jewish life and culture, and young-adult fellowships.
• Maintain a shared prospect tracker with fit, deadlines, ask amount, and status.
• Draft letters of inquiry and full proposals, with the goal of securing 2–3 new grants in 2027.

Reporting and coordination (about 10%)

• Send a short monthly dashboard to the co-directors and board: donor contacts made, gifts received, grants submitted, and progress toward our annual fundraising goal.
• Join a monthly check-in with the co-directors and the fundraising committee.

What you bring

• 2+ years of experience in fundraising, development, and grant writing, ideally at a small nonprofit
• Strong organizational skills and comfort with a CRM or spreadsheet-based donor tracking
• Self-direction and reliability when working part-time and remotely
• Strategic thinking that helps leadership manage their donor relationships
• A connection to Jewish community life, outdoor or place-based education, or Vermont/New England philanthropy is a strong plus

What we offer

• 20 hours/month at $35–$50/hour, based on experience, on a 6-month initial contract, with strong potential for renewal
• Mentorship from a long-time Living Tree friend with professional foundation experience
• Direct work with our co-directors and board as we grow the organization
• An open invitation to our community festivals and farm programs
