About the Institute for Nonprofit Practice
The Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP) works to ensure that the nation’s nonprofit, public sector, and social impact leaders have the skills, knowledge, networks, and confidence to boldly advance their organizations and missions and build a more equitable future for all. INP serves social impact leaders who are driving solutions to some of the most pressing issues of our time. Nonprofits constitute the third-largest sector of the U.S. workforce – nearly 1 in 10 workers – yet the sector continues to face a chronic deficit of investment in the people who power it. The types of peer-to-peer learning and exchanges that INP offers are needed more than ever as the sector wrestles with a set of challenges that have mounted over the past few years – including workforce shortages, high burnout and turnover rates, and a rising demand for services – that can significantly undermine organizational effectiveness. With an 19-year track record of delivering programs that measurably increase leaders’ key leadership skills, confidence, and networks, INP is committed to meeting this moment by continuing to empower social impact leaders to adapt and thrive amidst these obstacles. About the role - Development & Engagement Coordinator
The Development & Engagement Coordinator plays an essential role in driving the Institute for Nonprofit Practice’s (INP) day-to-day fundraising operations. Working collaboratively with the entire development team, this role ensures INP has the resources it needs to deepen its impact and equip social sector leaders nationwide. You will play a critical, hands-on role in the administrative and operational execution of all giving streams—including individuals, corporations, and foundations—to ensure sustained growth and network engagement. To thrive in this role, you must be exceptionally detail-oriented, operationally organized, and driven by curiosity. Because you naturally pick up on the nuances, you bring a high level of emotional intelligence to your work, understanding that meaningful donor stewardship is built on personalized, consistent, and effective communication. Whether you are greeting guests at a major donor gathering, prepping leadership for key funder conversations, or keeping our donor systems organized, your energy, warmth, and operational ownership make every partner feel valued. Your responsibilities will include:
A successful candidate will develop and grow a broad set of professional skills, honing them to the level of excellence in a demanding and fast-paced environment. You will work with, learn from, and grow alongside a high-performing and diverse team in which everyone is committed to the development of themselves and others.
This role is intended to serve as a professional development path for you. There is potential for the role to evolve within two to three years based on the particular strengths that you bring to the team, making this an invaluable opportunity to expand your nonprofit career. Compensation & Benefits
INP provides a competitive salary that is benchmarked annually against Boston-area nonprofits. The hiring range for this position is an annual salary range of $65,000 to $70,000 per year. The final salary within this range will be determined based on candidate's qualifications and relevant experience. Once an offer is made, we do not negotiate compensation.
