Praxis Associate, Capital role supports Praxis's capital community by managing development operations and capital program execution. Responsible for grant reporting, donor stewardship, and managing the Capital Fellowship program.
Responsibilities
This role is a strategic enabler for Praxis's next season of serving our capital community, strengthening development and capital program operations that allow our team to steward funder relationships. By bridging fundraising operations and program execution, the Associate for Capital will ensure that the experiences we create for funders translate into deeper partnership and sustained engagement in our community. Half the role is spent on the operational backbone of Praxis's fundraising work, including donor stewardship, grants management, and funder communications. The other half of the role is spent running the day-to-day of the Capital Fellowship, our signature cohort-based program for investors and philanthropists. This role will report directly to the Principal for Praxis Capital, with a growing scope of independent ownership over time in building fluency with both development operations and program execution.
