clothing to homeless and impoverished individuals and families in Long Beach, is seeking a

from individuals, corporations and events.

Duties will include:

 Increase revenues from corporations, special events, and individuals

 Secure new donors including corporations and individuals

 Improve net revenue from current fund raising events, which include a gala and one

smaller event

 Increase awareness of COA in the Long Beach and South Bay communities.

2. An understanding of how to prospect, cultivate and acquire new donors and steward
