Grants & Fundraising Coordinator

**About Orange Sky**

Orange Sky is a not-for-profit organisation providing a free mobile laundry and shower service to people experiencing homelessness. We offer a platform for everyday Australians and New Zealanders to connect by creating a safe, positive and supportive environment for people who are too often ignored or who feel disconnected from the community.

We currently operate 36 services across 25 locations in Australia, and three services across two locations in New Zealand. There are 116,000 Australians and 41,600 Kiwis experiencing homelessness, and we’re on a mission to positively connect these communities through clean clothes, warm showers, and genuine, non-judgemental conversation. We’re driven, dedicated, insanely ambitious and a little unconventional. We take our work seriously, but have plenty of fun along the way. We work hard and ‘get it done’, but always make time to celebrate each other’s success.

- Maintain detailed records of all grant and funding activity as well as maintain relevant information of constituents in Orange Sky’s CRM
- Identify scalable/repeatable solutions for proactive and reactive fundraising opportunities
