The Coordinator will work towards meeting the strategic priorities of the team by implementing tactics for approved plans and completing and organizing varied tasks and activities. The Coordinator will help to ensure the TLA Program is activated and tracked in all U.S. and global programs (where possible) and will support both U.S/global program and Gift Planning staff in their efforts to engage TLAs and trustees in gift planning activities. They will identify priorities based on the needs of the program.

The Coordinator will support the Associate Director in meeting management, communications, analysis, and projects/activities in support of the volunteer leadership for the TLA Network.

The Coordinator will also provide administrative support as needed for gift inquiries and gift processing using the available fundraising management system and established processes and procedures. Duties may include drafting correspondence and acknowledgements, assisting in timely asset transfer, performing financial calculations and processing, and accurately recording planned gifts for trustees, and other donors as needed.
