The Innocence Project of Florida is looking for a motivated, creative person who can build a strong development foundation to support all of IPF’s important work.  We look forward to meeting some great candidates.  Here is our listing, which you can also find on Idealist.org:

The Innocence Project of Florida, Inc. (IPF) seeks a candidate for a full-time Development Coordinator position beginning immediately in its Tallahassee, Florida office. The Innocence Project of Florida is a 501(c)(3) non-profit legal defense organization dedicated to representing Florida prison inmates who can prove their innocence through the use of DNA testing and other newly discovered evidence. IPF is the premier criminal justice organization in Florida and has helped secure the release of numerous individuals who collectively spent over 150 years in prison for crimes they didn’t commit.

Essential Functions of Position:

The Development Coordinator will be responsible for generating revenue to support IPF’s litigation, social service, and policy activities. The selected candidate will be expected to develop and implement a comprehensive annual giving campaign, work with our esteemed Board of Directors to identify potential donors for small and major gifts, identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward donors through all forms of contact, including in-person visits, maintain a donor management system, and coordinate annual fundraising events. In addition, the successful candidate will assist existing staff in developing and implementing outreach and communication strategies, including use of emerging new media technologies to increase awareness and support of IPF’s mission.

Qualifications:

All candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree. Preferred candidates will have at least two years of experience as a development professional. Prior experience in a non-profit and/or criminal justice setting is a plus, but not required. The selected candidate must have superior organizational, oral communication and writing skills. The ideal candidate must be adept at the nuances of donor relations and understand the unique issues involved with fundraising in support of criminal justice issues. In order to be an effective Development Coordinator and advocate for the Innocence Project of Florida, candidates absolutely must have a strong commitment to public interest law in general and IPF’s core mission of finding and freeing innocent people in Florida’s prisons.

Benefits:

Besides being afforded the opportunity to work in an exciting, dynamic and collegial small-office environment, the Development Coordinator will receive a generous public interest salary commensurate with their level of experience; full health benefits; life insurance; and a generous vacation and sick time allowance.
