Development Coordinator; DMV

Muslim Aid USA (MAUSA) is a faith-based international relief and development organization working across 15+ countries to alleviate suffering caused by poverty, disaster, conflict, and systemic inequality. We serve communities through humanitarian aid, long-term development programs, and seasonal campaigns rooted in compassion, justice, and service to humanity—regardless of background or faith.

The Development Coordinator (DMV Area) plays a vital role in expanding MAUSA’s community fundraising and donor engagement efforts within the greater New York and New Jersey region. This is an entry-level but high-visibility position, ideal for someone who is passionate about community organizing, public speaking, and building grassroots support for a global humanitarian mission.

The Development Coordinator will support regional fundraising events, masjid engagement, and volunteer activation—working independently while being supported by the Fundraising Director and CEO. The role requires strong communication, organizational skills, and comfort working in faith-based spaces.
