Grants Development Officer

Jenny Marquardt

First Nations Development Institute (First Nations) is a 40-year-old Native American controlled nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen American Indian economies to support healthy Native communities. We invest in and create innovative institutions and models that strengthen asset control and support economic development for American Indian people and their communities.

The Grants Development Officer is responsible for coordinating the development team. This includes the administrative management of grant submissions and the coordinating of reporting of grants to First Nations supporters. The Grants Development Officer provides critical backup for processing entry of donations from individuals, third-party processors, donor-advised funds, etc. The Grants Development Officer also works with development staff on appeals and strategy.

The Grants Development Officer reports to the Vice President of Development and works in close collaboration with First Nations resource development staff, program staff and finance staff.

The Grants Development Officer can be based in either the First Nations’ Longmont or Albuquerque office. The safety of our staff is of primary importance, and currently First Nations staff are working from home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are monitoring and following federal, state and local public health guidance and, as of now, employees are expected to be able to report to our offices when deemed safe.
