Community Partnership Manager

At Welcome Home, we believe every veteran deserves a safe place to call home.

Each year, our team helps hundreds of veterans across Mid-Missouri move from homelessness to stability through housing, employment, and supportive services. We're looking for someone who loves building relationships and wants to help grow the community support that makes this work possible.

If you're energized by meeting people, connecting businesses with meaningful causes, and helping raise resources that change lives, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

You'll work alongside our Development Director to grow the relationships that fuel our mission.

Your focus will include:

• Building relationships with donors and community partners

• Growing corporate sponsorships

• Assisting with grant applications and reporting

• Planning memorable fundraising events

• Identifying new opportunities to increase community support

This is a relationship-first position. You will spend more time out in the community than you will be behind a desk.

What Success Looks Like

Within your first year, you'll:

• Grow a portfolio of loyal donors

• Increase sponsorship revenue

• Help maintain a strong grant pipeline

• Build new partnerships throughout Mid-Missouri

• Contribute to raising more than $1 million annually to support veterans

We're Looking for Someone Who...

• Loves building genuine relationships

• Is confident networking and meeting new people

• Communicates with warmth and professionalism

• Is organized and follows through

• Enjoys working independently while collaborating with a small team

Experience in fundraising is helpful—but experience in sales, business development, account management, marketing, or community engagement is equally valuable.

If you've successfully built relationships that generated revenue or support, we'd like to talk.
