Shared Development Director:
Independent Contractor

• Refugee Connect & Immigrant and Refuge Law Center
• Greater Cincinnati
  • Hybrid/Remote
• Contract Amount: $55,000
• Contract Term: 12 months; may be renewed based on available funding and the continued needs of both organizations

Refugee Connect and the Immigrant and Refuge Law Center (IRLC) are seeking an experienced development professional to serve as our Shared Development Director , an independent contractor providing strategic fundraising and development support across both organizations.

This is not a traditional Development Director role. It is a unique opportunity to work alongside two established Greater Cincinnati nonprofits serving refugee and immigrant communities while helping us explore what becomes possible when mission-aligned organizations intentionally share expertise, resources, relationships, and fundraising strategy.

The Shared Development Director will support the distinct development priorities of Refugee Connect and IRLC while also identifying opportunities for collaboration, including shared funding opportunities, donor and corporate engagement, joint fundraising initiatives, and long-range planning connected to a future regional welcoming center.

The ideal contractor will be comfortable navigating multiple organizational priorities, building relationships, developing systems, and moving between strategy and implementation. We are looking for someone who sees collaboration not as an added responsibility, but as an opportunity to build stronger and more sustainable organizations.
