A development coordinator is a person who coordinates, plans, and organizes a fundraising event, campaign, or project.
Development coordinators must have excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills, and they must be good listeners and able to take direction well.
Development coordinators may also serve as the project manager for a fundraising event.
In this role, the development coordinator may work directly with the organization’s leadership, but s/he may also work closely with a staff person in the fundraising office.
