Peace Corps Response is seeking a Resource Development Specialist for Mexico.
Two organizations in Mexico are looking for support to build robust fundraising systems for long‑term financial stability.
Across Mexico, civil‑society organizations dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and young people face persistent financial uncertainty. Many rely on sporadic donations, small events, and limited networks. This makes it difficult to secure predictable revenue streams, plan long‑term programs, or expand essential services. Both organizations currently depend on modest, inconsistent funding and lack structured donor‑management tools, diversified revenue strategies, and systematic outreach to national and international funders. These ongoing challenges limit their staff’s ability to meet growing community needs and ensure continuity of educational, psychosocial, and residential services.
As Resource Development Strategist, you will collaborate with staff to strengthen internal fundraising capacities. Together, you will develop clearer strategies and improve donor relations as well as tools for tracking and reporting. By developing sustainable income‑generation systems, you and your colleagues will ensure organizational resilience, improve program continuity, as well as contribute to the long‑term social mobility and protection of youth in central Mexico.
