Breakthrough Cincinnati - Development Specialist VISTAMember

Breakthrough Cincinnati transforms the lives of young people through our unique academic enrichment experiences. Our 6-week summer program, school year program, and college bound program events give vulnerable middle school students a boost through academic, leadership, and college preparatory experiences. At Breakthrough Cincinnati, students experience “it’s cool to be smart” culture that inspires them to adopt a college-going mindset and prepares them for the rigors of college.

Alongside their also motivated peers, they learn from college-aged Teaching Fellows who really connect with them. The organization’s over 30-year, time-tested, students-teaching-students model empowers youth and college students to achieve their potential as learners, teachers, and agents of change in their communities.

Breakthrough Cincinnati is seeking a creative, competitive self-starter to join our team. We are expanding our organization to serve more students across Cincinnati, and we seek a partner to build our fundraising capacity to grow! You will lead our capacity building in the area of fundraising with individuals and foundations, corporate sponsor ships, in‑kind giving, donor stewardship, data administration, and newsletter creation.

Some of the projects include leading the fall and spring fundraising appeals, planning and execution of our sponsorship program, creating our monthly newsletter, grant writing, and the cultivation of new donors. The role is in the center of the action with our students, families, donors, and staff! We are a fun and smart group of student‑centered professionals and cannot wait to meet you!
