The Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) is looking for a volunteer (unpaid) Events Lead to join our Community Events Committee! SASF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on raising critical funds for the Seattle Animal Shelter (SAS). We support programs at the animal shelter that the City of Seattle cannot fund on their own. Our all‐volunteer Board of Directors and committees are passionate about animal care and love giving back to our community.
As a member of the Community Events Committee, the Events Lead will have the opportunity to plan and implement SASF’s fundraising events and overall strategy.
The ideal candidate has a proven track record of success in hosting events, ideally for an animal nonprofit or related field. They enjoy planning and executing fundraising events, like our annual Furry 5K Fun Run and Walk in June and smaller scale events in partnership with local businesses. Attention to detail, a can-do attitude, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment are essential elements to this role. The candidate will also work with our development and marketing teams to ensure our donors and networks are well informed about upcoming events.
