Northern non-profits, Inuit communities 

Position: Fundraising Coordinator
Organization: Nunavut Association of Non-Profit Organizations
Location: Remote (applicants located in Nunavut strongly preferred)
Reports to: Executive Director

Background

The Nunavut Association of Non-Profit Organizations (NANPO) was incorporated in March 2021 with the objective of advancing the interests of non-profit organizations with operations in Nunavut, increasing communications between them, and addressing issues that collectively affect them.

Mission: Guided by the Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit principle of piliriqatigiinniq/ikajuqtigiinniq (working together for a common cause), we share knowledge, build capacity, and amplify our voices to create a stronger and more unified non-profit sector. We build public knowledge of the essential role non-profit organizations have in Nunavut and advocate for the sector’s needs so that they can do their vital work more efficiently and with fewer barriers.

Vision: A strong, resourced, and connected non-profit sector, recognized and valued as an essential contributor to the well-being of Nunavummiut.

NANPO currently represents over 90 member organizations across Nunavut, ranging from grassroots community groups to territorial service providers. Our members work in areas such as food security, social services, arts and culture, recreation, and wellness. As the collective voice for the sector in Nunavut, NANPO strengthens connections between non-profits, governments, and funding partners, while also providing training, resources, and advocacy to build capacity across the territory.

The new team is working together to guide the organization through its next phase of growth—expanding member services and increasing the value of membership, deepening relationships with partners, and ensuring that Nunavut’s non-profit sector has the tools, resources, and representation it needs to thrive. The job description below outlines the role of the Fundraising Coordinator in supporting the organization's efforts. This position is a one-year contract, with the possibility of extension, assuming funding has been sourced to finance the position at that time.

Position Overview

The Fundraising Coordinator supports the planning, coordination and execution of fundraising initiatives that help advance NANPO’s mission. This role is ideal for someone who is organized, curious and passionate about strengthening the non-profit sector. The Fundraising Coordinator plays an important role in building fundraising capacity across member organizations, and the successful candidate will help share knowledge, tools and resources that support non-profit leaders in developing the skills and confidence needed to raise funds for their organizations.

Working closely with the Executive Director, the Fundraising Coordinator helps strengthen NANPO’s impact by supporting sustainable funding, improving access to funding opportunities, and contributing to the long-term success of Nunavut’s non-profit sector.
