🐾 Join Our Team as a Fundraising manager & Bookkeeper 🐾
Are you passionate about making money work for rescue animals? Then we’d like to work with you! On a volunteer basis, 100% remote. We’re looking for a fundraising manager and bookkeeper (or either one of those, if you’re more interested in one over the other), to help prop up our foundation’s support capabilities and credibility. As we are a registered foundation in the Netherlands, and most of our efforts are focused there as well, it would most likely be beneficial if you have a working level proficiency in both Dutch (to communicate with other foundations, grant providers, banks, etc.) as well as English (to communicate with our international board and your fellow volunteers). This is a golden opportunity for rescue cat and dog enthusiasts to boost our reach!
Your role:
As our fundraising manager and bookkeeper, you’ll be able to directly influence the lives of hundreds of cats and dogs!
Your responsibilities include:
- Research and identify grant opportunities and funding sources
- Write and submit compelling grant applications for identified grants
- Establishing and managing identified funding sources
- Keeping track of income and expenses (bookkeeping)
- Set up and maintain a database of potential funding sources and processes
- Report on the status of funding applications and update foundation board on progress
- Setting up an Rescue Dogs and Cats NL bank account – probably one of the first tasks – through which incoming donations can be managed, as well as outward support and operational expenses.
- Research and support to ensure Rescue Dogs and Cats NL becomes designated as an ANBI
Requirements:
- Self-starter
- Strong organizational skills.
- Experience in fundraising or event planning is a plus, but not required.
- Passion for our cause and a commitment to making a difference
- You speak Dutch and English (any other language is a great addition, we have adopters who live in the Netherlands but originate from all over the world)
- Availability 2-5 hours a week
Why Join Us?
At Rescue Dogs and Cats NL, we believe that every animal deserves a loving home. If you’re ready to be part of a dedicated team, play a crucial role in changing lives, and help cats find their forever families, we want to hear from you!
As a fundraising manager and bookkeeper you’ll get the opportunity to:
- Use your professional skills and experience to help rescue animals
- Enhance your grant writing and fundraising portfolio and build transferable skills
- A chance to become a part of a foundation entering a new phase of its development
- A chance to join an energetic team of animal lovers
- You’ll join an energetic team of animal lovers with an established Wellbeing team
- Flexible schedule and ability to work remotely, with monthly online meetings
