Help bring people together to create brighter futures for Oregon's young readers.

At SMART Reading, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to become an excited, confident reader. Yet too many Oregon children aren't meeting reading benchmarks. SMART brings together volunteers, donors, and community partners to connect kids with two essential ingredients for literacy and learning success: shared reading time and books to keep.

As SMART Reading's Development Coordinator, you'll help make this work possible by coordinating the operations, donor engagement activities, campaigns, and events that support our statewide fundraising efforts.

The Opportunity

You'll be an essential member of SMART's Development Team, reporting to the Development Director and working closely with fundraising and communications colleagues to keep projects organized, donor information accurate, and fundraising activities running smoothly.

One day you might be preparing donor reports, coordinating a fundraising campaign, or supporting a major event. The next day you could be responding to donor questions, working with corporate volunteers, or organizing a meeting for SMART's Associate Board.

This role is ideal for someone who loves organizing details, keeping projects moving, building positive relationships, and finding better ways to get things done.

What You'll Do

Keep fundraising operations running smoothly

• Coordinate administrative activities for SMART's statewide Development Team, including meetings, donor records, dashboards, and shared resources.
• Support donor communications and stewardship, including calls, emails, acknowledgments, and follow-up.
• Partner with development operations colleagues to prepare monthly development reports, maintain accurate donor information, and improve reporting processes.
• Manage existing third-party fundraising partnerships and help identify new opportunities.
• Maintain the Development intranet site and keep team resources organized and up to date.
• Assist with gift processing and other fundraising operations as needed.

Coordinate fundraising events & campaigns

• Coordinate logistics, timelines, and administrative details for fundraising events and campaigns in partnership with Development and Communications colleagues.
• Track event-related revenue and coordinate donor acknowledgments with the Database Manager.
• Administer fundraising platforms, including Greater Giving and Give Lively.
• Coordinate sponsor materials, vendor relationships, and administrative requirements, including permits, insurance, raffle licenses, and other event needs.

Support collaboration & community engagement

• Serve as the primary staff liaison to SMART's Associate Board, coordinating meetings, member communications, activities, and ongoing engagement.
• Partner with the Communications Director on fundraising newsletters, annual reports, social media, website content, and other projects.
• Foster positive, professional, and appreciative relationships with SMART's donors, volunteers, and community partners.
• Collaborate across teams and contribute to additional organizational projects as needed.

The Impact You'll Make

Your work will help connect the generosity of Oregonians with opportunities for children to experience:

• The joy of reading through connections with caring adult volunteers.
• Books of their own to build home libraries and share stories with their families.
• Greater confidence and literacy skills that prepare them for learning and success.
• Stronger family connections through books and shared reading experiences.
• A brighter future for Oregon, where more children have the skills, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.

Behind every successful fundraising event, campaign, and donor relationship are people who make the details come together. You'll be one of those people, helping build a community of supporters who believe every child deserves the opportunity to become a successful reader.

You May Be a Great Fit If You Are

• An organized, detail-oriented person who enjoys keeping multiple projects moving.
• A proactive problem-solver who takes initiative and finds ways to make things work better.

Why SMART Reading?

Our village stretches across Oregon, bringing together volunteers, donors, families, educators, businesses, foundations, congregations, and neighbors. Together, we provide children with shared reading time and books to keep—simple but powerful supports that can help change the trajectory of a child's life.

When you join SMART, you'll find a collaborative, caring team that's passionate about this mission, opportunities to learn and grow, and a workplace committed to equity, inclusion, and supporting employee well-being.
