Help Turn Data, Stories, and Generosity into Groceries for Our Neighbors
Are you a detail-driven communicator who loves turning information into impact? Do you thrive at the intersection of storytelling, data, and relationship-building? Join the team at the White Bear Area Food Shelf as Development Specialist and play a key role in securing the resources that help our community access food.
In this dynamic role, you’ll power our fundraising engine by:
- Coordinating a robust grant program— crafting compelling proposals and ensuring timely, high-quality submissions and reports
- Managing and analyzing donor and program data—keeping our systems clean, accurate, and actionable so we can make smart, data-driven decisions
- Strengthening donor relationships through thoughtful stewardship, acknowledgments, and support for campaigns, appeals, and events
This position is ideal for someone who enjoys both big-picture impact and behind-the-scenes excellence—a strong writer who is energized by deadlines, loves working with data, and takes pride in organization, accuracy, and collaboration.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Writes clearly, persuasively, and with purpose
- Has experience with grants and the full grant lifecycle
- Enjoys working with databases, reports, and analytics
- Brings initiative, integrity, and a collaborative spirit
- Is passionate about supporting neighbors experiencing food insecurity
