CEN's fundraising strategy includes a mix of the following elements:

Acquire - introduce new potential individual and corporate supporters to the organization
Cultivate them - Engage and develop a strong connection with our mission

Other fundraising - other fundraising and revenue generating efforts, such as events and benefits, online sponsorships, etc.

Contribute to the development of the organization's fundraising strategy

Coordinate efforts with the other team members

KSAs (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities) Needed:

You must be able to commit to a minimum average of 10 hours a month. This is a "virtual" team opportunity which may be performed from home or another location.

Community Empowerment Network's (CEN's) operations are nearly entirely driven by the efforts of volunteers (the only exception is our Field Manager in Santarém, Brazil, who is paid under contract). We are a small organization and so lines of responsibility sometimes overlap, but this provides a terrific opportunity for volunteers to take on a variety of responsibilities and to expand their skills. See How Our Teams Work for more information.
