Volunteer Fundraising & Outreach Coordinator (Remote, 1–4 hrs/week)
About the Project We are a small, high-impact grassroots effort supporting nine displaced Palestinian families in Gaza. Over the past year, we have built direct, personal relationships with each family and have distributed over $65,000 in aid. This is not a large, impersonal charity. We stay closely connected with the families, following their day-to-day realities — from urgent needs like food and shelter to moments of resilience, joy, and hope. Our goal is to provide consistent weekly support while also helping families move toward long-term self-sufficiency. We maintain direct, ongoing relationships with each family, stay in regular communication about their needs, and take reasonable steps to ensure funds are used for basic living expenses, including screening adult recipients against publicly available sanctions lists. Role Overview We are seeking a highly reliable and proactive volunteer to help ensure consistent weekly fundraising and support basic economic development efforts for the families. This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable with outreach, organized, and able to follow through consistently week to week. Time commitment Approximately 1–2 hours per week per function (2–4 hours total if covering both areas). Additional time is welcome but not required. Consistency is essential in this role, as families rely on weekly support for basic needs.
