Communications & Fundraising Coordinator

Position Overview N4MN is seeking a detail-oriented Communications & Fundraising Coordinator to support fundraising, member engagement, public communications, and organizational visibility. This contractor will help ensure consistent communication with supporters and effective promotion of events and organizational priorities. We are seeking this assistance to help while an employee is out on a short-term leave. This is a part-time, hourly, independent contractor position reporting to the Director of Operations & Engagement. About us: Neighbors for More Neighbors (N4MN) Neighbors for More Neighbors (N4MN) was started in February 2017 by two bloggers and artists. N4MN stands up for secure, abundant homes for everyone in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota. We need to build affordable homes at every level so that people who can afford more expensive homes aren’t crowding lower-wealth people out of the market. If we do nothing to make space in our city for more neighbors, people will be pushed to the margins of the metro, and will use more resources to commute to school and jobs. Since our founding, we have advocated for approval of specific apartment buildings, raised awareness of our regional shortage of homes, led organizing that passed Minneapolis 2040, and supported policy change at the state level. We are a steering committee member of the Yes to Homes Coalition. Estimated Hours 15 - 20 hours per week, with occasional additional hours around fundraising events and other deadlines.
