Job Description
Calling all professionals passionate about strengthening nonprofit sustainability! Two organizations in Mexico are looking for support to build robust fundraising systems for long‑term financial stability.

Across Mexico, civil‑society organizations dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and young people face persistent financial uncertainty. Many rely on sporadic donations, small events, and limited networks. This makes it difficult to secure predictable revenue streams, plan long‑term programs, or expand essential services. Both organizations currently depend on modest, inconsistent funding and lack structured donor‑management tools, diversified revenue strategies, and systematic outreach to national and international funders. These ongoing challenges limit their staff’s ability to meet growing community needs and ensure continuity of educational, psychosocial, and residential services.

As Resource Development Strategist, you will collaborate with staff to strengthen internal fundraising capacities. Together, you will develop clearer strategies and improve donor relations as well as tools for tracking and reporting. By developing sustainable income‑generation systems, you and your colleagues will ensure organizational resilience, improve program continuity, as well as contribute to the long‑term social mobility and protection of youth in central Mexico.

Required Skills
Bachelor's degree in business, economics, management, or other relevant field.
AND
Three or more years of experience working at a non-government organization (NGO) or a donor-driven organization on prospect/donor identification, grant writing, fundraising, or proposal development.

Living Conditions
The Volunteer will live in a midsized city in central Mexico with access to all types of services, including electricity, internet, supermarkets, and recreational spaces.



Housing typically consists of a small independent apartment or a loft with a private entrance on a family’s property. Commutes generally range from 30–60 minutes with public transportation available, including city buses, intercity buses, and taxis.

Activities
Conduct organizational assessments to identify current fundraising practices and capacity gaps.
Develop fundraising plans, including goals, strategies, and donor engagement approaches.
Train staff in prospect research, donor stewardship, and basic resource‑mobilization techniques.
Support the creation or improvement of simple donor‑tracking tools and data management systems.
Provide guidance on designing and executing small fundraising campaigns or outreach activities.
Strengthen internal communication materials with donor stories, updates, and impact content.
Coach leadership and key staff on monitoring progress and evaluating fundraising efforts.
Facilitate knowledge‑sharing sessions to help teams adopt and sustain new fundraising processes.

You may also work on additional projects that meet the community’s interests and priorities, such as facilitating English conversation clubs or cultural exchange activities.

Training
After a 3-week orientation on topics such as health and safety, you will move to an urban or semi-urban community where you will collaborate with the staff at a nonprofit organization to assess the local needs and develop a work plan in line with their established goals.

Peace Corps/Mexico will equip you with Spanish language resources and you may work with a local tutor who can help you build basic language skills to connect with the community.

Job Highlights
Make an impact by building sustainable fundraising systems that will directly strengthen educational and social‑support services for vulnerable children and youth.
Expand your professional expertise in proposal development, customer relationship management (CRM) tools, and impact measurement.
Experience rich Mexican culture while coaching local teams and shaping long‑term organizational growth.
