Paige Swope
@paigeswope
Development Coordinator specializing in grant writing, donor care, and deadline-driven reporting for mission-driven teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Development Coordinator who thrives in team environments and also works efficiently and independently to meet project deadlines. I bring strong verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills, along with a detail-focused approach emphasizing accuracy and quality.
In my current role at Flying Horse Farms, I research and identify grant opportunities aligned with organizational priorities and program needs. I eloquently manage a comprehensive grants calendar, handle training deadlines and reporting requirements, and support a complete grant proposal process—including drafting compelling narratives, budgets, and supporting materials. I’ve submitted over 100 grant proposals, ensuring alignment between funding requests and organizational goals.
Previously, as a Donor Care Coordinator, I assisted with accurate data entry for 200,000+ gifts from approximately 70,000 donors, totaling over $6xx,000 in funds (as reflected in the resume text). I also supported donor acknowledgment workflows, assisted with volunteer coordination and event planning, and partnered with internal teams on re-branding projects—strengthening my ability to collaborate cross-functionally while maintaining fast, dependable execution.
