Job description

The primary function of the Development Coordinator VISTA will be to research and write grants and develop a fundraising plan to support the mission of Help Save the Bees Foundation (HSBF).

Secondarily, the Development Coordinator VISTA will research, evaluate, recommend and implement nonprofit "Best Practices" that will enhance HSBF's operational effectiveness.

About Help Save the Bees Foundation:
Founded in 2019, HSBF is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) educational organization, based in Reno, NV; serving the Reno/Sparks Metropolitan area, the agricultural width and breadth of the USA, and economically depressed portions of the Planet Earth.

Help Save the Bees Foundation helps, inspires and educates others about the fascinating nature and vital importance of bees, the challenges they face, and their impact on our planet and the human race. The USDA estimates that pollinating insects, primarily honey bees, provide $15 billion worth of agricultural improvement, helping to keep the cost of food within reach of the populations that need basic nutrition the most. And yet bees and pollinators are facing the biggest challenges ever: researchers tell us that insect populations have declined 40% over the past 10 years due to deforestation, urbanization, and overuse of pesticides. HSBF seeks to mitigate these challenges through the restoration of habitat, the reduction of the use of pesticides, and through education, with an emphasis on youth, marginalized, and underserved communities.

Position Description:
As a Foundation whose mission is to provide funding and support for research and activities that improve pollinator health, a fundamental and critically important function is fundraising. Ultimately, the success of our mission hinges on the success of our fundraising. The HSBF Development Coordinator will help build capacity and implement a sustainable fundraising plan to support our mission.

Additionally, our Development Coordinator will research, analyze and implement nonprofit best practices and procedures that fit our organization. Although secondary to fundraising, this function will enable our young foundation to advance from a startup to an established, stable, and sustainable organization.
