In this fund development role, 50-percent of my time was dedicated to grant writing, and the other 50-percent to the planning and execution of fundraisers. Having worked at Legal Aid since 2010 in various roles from outreach to chat support, the nonprofit law firm was in need of someone to help them with their grants on a temporary basis. Coming from a customer service and business marketing background, I self-taught myself to write grant proposals and compile necessary documentation to accompany these applications. When the temporary position expired, I was asked to continue this role permanently. I was an integral player in the planning, execution, and social media presence for the 2013 Great Wine Festival fundraiser. Utilizing my outreach skills, I secured vendors and donors. The event was profitable for the first time since its 2011 inception. In this fundraising role, I was responsible for choosing event venues, researching pricing and making site visits. I used Microsoft Publisher to design Save the Dates, Vertical Response for distribution, and maintained master contact lists.
