Job Description

The Lustgarten Foundation is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, compassionate, and hands-on Senior Coordinator to lead a dynamic portfolio of fundraising events—from our signature Walks for Pancreatic Cancer Research to third-party community fundraisers.

This is a pivotal role for a connector and doer —someone who builds strong relationships, manages logistics with care, and turns passion into action. No task is too big or too small. You’ll collaborate with volunteers, donors, vendors, and internal teams to deliver mission-aligned events that inspire and engage.

• Oversee event logistics, timelines, budgets, and CRM data

• Partner with marketing to enhance supporter engagement

• Represent Lustgarten with empathy, professionalism, and energy

What You Bring

• 4+ years in nonprofit event planning, fundraising, or donor relations

• Intellectual depth, entrepreneurial drive, and interpersonal warmth

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills—with the ability to inspire action

Highly proficient in Microsoft Office Suite

Demonstrated experience with complex databases and the ability to quickly learn fundraising platforms (Virtuous or similar CRM tools preferred)

Budget and vendor management experience

• Able to lift 30+ lbs and travel regionally (evenings/weekends required)

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

You Want…

Meaningful work in a fun, mission-driven community shaped by survivors, partners, influencers, and staff

• A workplace where hope, science, and action come together to accelerate progress

As the world’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research, the Lustgarten Foundation is laser-focused on transforming this disease into a curable one. Join us—and make an impact that matters.
