Corporate & Community Partnerships Manager

The Send It Foundation inspires positivity, courage, and connection for young adults facing cancer through the power of outdoor adventure and community. Each year, we host multi-day adventure programs including skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, backpacking, and mindfulness retreats. These experiences are designed to create space for connection, healing, and a renewed sense of self.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking a relationship‑driven professional to lead and expand our Corporate and Community Partnerships, with a strong focus on event sponsorship, partner activation, and community‑based fundraising. Send It is in an exciting stage of growth and this role will directly shape how we scale our partnerships and impact.

• Manage partner recognition across events, digital channels, and printed materials.
• Maintain strong communication and stewardship to support retention and long‑term growth.

• Identify and pursue select corporate and community grant opportunities aligned with partnership strategy.
• With guidance from the Development Director, develop and submit approximately 1–2 proposals or LOIs per month, along with reporting as needed.
• Track timelines, deliverables, and support funder stewardship in coordination with the Development Director.

• Experience in corporate partnerships, sponsor ships, or event‑based fundraising.
• Strong relationship‑building and external communication skills.
• Experience activating sponsors through events or campaigns.
• Excellent written communication skills that are clear, compelling, and adaptable to different funder audiences.
• Organized and able to manage multiple timelines and stakeholders.
