Co-op Radio is hiring a part time Fundraising Coordinator to add to our new staff team. We have a
fun, supportive and inclusive workplace, raise over $250,000 from dedicated supporters each year
(many of them monthly), and we look forward to learning from your experience to grow our
programs.
Vancouver Co-op Radio is an innovative non-profit community radio station & podcast recording studio providing a
voice for those underrepresented in mainstream media.
Each week, Co-op Radio provides access to community space, training and equipment for 300+ volunteers who
produce 140 hours of original programming, in over 10 languages. We are a mosaic of 90 unique Radio Show
collectives, supported in partnership by some of the most respected non-profit organizations in the province. Our
beautiful Radio Station is a jewel in the heart of the city, and since 1975 we have celebrated the GVRD’s rich cultural
diversity through our arts, music, and spoken word programming.
We are looking for a fresh, intelligent individual to add to an energetic and eclectic team. We value self-confidence,
self-reliance, and demand attention to detail. As the Fundraising Coordinator you will be responsible for building
relationships with volunteers, community sponsors, listeners and supporters, while raising money through a variety of
channels, including phone, direct mail, digital marketing, events, and sales.
Essential is your demonstrated passion for connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences
(including Indigenous, POC, LGBT2S+, Youth, Seniors, people with diverse-abilities, etc.). Applicant assets would
include non-profit or direct marketing experience, database experience (we use Donor Perfect), computer knowledge,
affinity for numbers, and verbal and written communication skills are required. This is a unique and challenging
position, requiring curiosity, maturity, patience and independent and innovative problem-solving techniques.
Excellent time-management skills are crucial.
Our new Fundraising Coordinator will be communicating directly with supporters, testing new fundraising strategies,
while growing our stable base of monthly and annual donors. Our staff team of 5 is very supportive, while our
dedicated volunteers (many of them creative professionals) are always ready to jump in and help out when needed.
Working alongside our Executive Director, a professional fundraiser with over 20 years non-profit experience, this is
the foundational growth opportunity you’ve been looking for. The position (part of Unifor Local 3000) is 20 hours a
week, with a starting wage of $24.93 per hour, amazing extended benefits and 5 week’s vacation.
