@donovenrice

I build nonprofit partnerships, fundraising initiatives, and community engagement programs that advance mission.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to grow mission-driven organizations through fundraising, strategic partnerships, community engagement, and team leadership, particularly in nonprofit or youth-serving work.

At The Jason Foundation, I develop revenue streams and strategic partnerships that support a national youth suicide prevention nonprofit. I contribute to corporate partner research, grant development, recurring giving, donor engagement, and community-based fundraising initiatives.

I've led youth prevention and ministry programs, built volunteer teams, delivered public presentations, and strengthened outreach with students, families, businesses, nonprofits, and community stakeholders. My work combines relationship building, fundraising, program development, and team leadership to grow engagement around meaningful missions.
