Seal Cove Auto Museum | Seal Cove, Maine
Reports to: Executive Director
Schedule: Full-time preferred; part-time considered for the right fit
Start date: Flexible
About the Role
The Seal Cove Auto Museum is looking for a creative, organized, people-loving professional to help grow support for one of Maine’s most distinctive cultural treasures. The Community Growth & Engagement Lead will connect donors, sponsors, members, visitors, and online audiences with the Museum’s mission, stories, events, and future plans.
This is a flexible, hands-on role for someone who enjoys both strategy and getting things done. You might be writing a donor note in the morning, planning a sponsor follow-up after lunch, drafting an e-newsletter in the afternoon, and helping welcome guests at a special event that evening.
What You’ll Do
- Help build and carry out fundraising plans that support annual needs, special projects, and long-term growth.
- Work with the Executive Director, Board, and Development Committee to identify opportunities and keep fundraising efforts moving.
- Cultivate relationships with donors, sponsors, foundations, and community partners.
- Manage donor records, gift acknowledgments, follow-up notes, and stewardship communications.
- Research grant opportunities and assist with proposals, reports, and funding records.
- Plan and support fundraising events, including logistics, outreach, guest experience, and follow-up.
- Create lively, mission-centered content for social media, e-newsletters, donor updates, and public outreach.
- Track fundraising progress, organize materials, and keep development projects on schedule.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in fundraising, nonprofit work, communications, events, marketing, community engagement, or a related field.
- Excellent writing, organization, follow-through, and attention to detail.
- Comfort using donor databases, spreadsheets, social media tools, and email marketing platforms.
- A friendly, proactive style and the ability to manage several projects at once.
- Interest in museums, history, community, education, or quirky old cars is a plus.
