Nonprofit Administrative Coordinator

Job Summary

We are looking for a reliable and empathetic Nonprofit Administrative Coordinator to serve as the administrative backbone of a small nonprofit supporting families affected by a rare medical condition. This role handles incoming inquiries from our community, keeps our donor records accurate, produces our newsletter, and keeps our shared files organized. This is an organization-focused administrative role, not an executive or personal assistant position. The ideal candidate is a tech-savvy self-starter who communicates with warmth and sensitivity and takes genuine ownership of the work.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor and manage the organization’s shared mailbox, responding to inquiries from families, donors, and partners with care and sensitivity
• Route or escalate inquiries that require input from leadership, and follow up to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
• Enter, update, and maintain donation records and donor information in the CRM (Little Green Light)
• Generate and reconcile donor and donation reports as requested
• Design and lay out the organization’s newsletter using Canva and AI tools, including sourcing and preparing images
• Organize and maintain the Google Drive file structure so documents, templates, and records are easy to find and consistently named
• Document processes, logins, and account access so that all work is transparent, transferable, and never dependent on one person’s memory
• Identify inefficiencies in current workflows and proactively suggest better tools, templates, or processes
• Support additional administrative projects as the organization’s needs evolve

Mandatory Skills

• Excellent written English with strong command of tone, warmth, and sensitivity in written communication
• Genuine empathy and the ability to communicate compassionately with families navigating a lifelong medical condition
• Experience managing a shared or organizational inbox and handling inquiries end to end
• Comfortable learning and working in a CRM or donor database; accurate data entry with strong attention to detail
• Proficiency with Google Workspace, especially Google Drive file organization and Google Docs/Sheets
• Working knowledge of Canva or a similar design tool for newsletters and simple graphics
• Comfortable using AI tools to speed up drafting, layout, and research
• Highly tech-savvy and quick to pick up new platforms with minimal hand-holding
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work independently
• Strong communication skills and a proactive approach to flagging issues and suggesting improvements

Preferred Skills

• Previous experience working with a nonprofit, charity, foundation, or mission-driven organization
• Familiarity with Little Green Light or another donor CRM (Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, Kindful, Neon, or similar)
• Experience with email newsletter platforms and basic email marketing
• Experience creating or maintaining SOPs and process documentation
• Personal interest in patient advocacy, healthcare, family support, or community-building work
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and set your own priorities
