About the role
We are looking for an enthusiastic and relationship-driven Individual Giving Coordinator to help grow a vibrant and impactful donor community. You’ll help shape and execute donor engagement strategies, support multi-channel campaigns, and bring fresh ideas to enhance donor retention and acquisition. The role offers meaningful exposure to all aspects of individual giving.
About Us
At the Calgary Food Bank our mission is “to make food accessible to everyone in our city”.

What You’ll Do
- Serve as a primary contact for donors, responding to inquiries by phone and in person with professionalism and care
- Manage and process gifts in all forms (cash, cheques, credit cards, direct deposits, monthly contributions, stock donations, and legacy gifts), ensuring accuracy from entry through to tax receipting

- Collaborate with Community Engagement and Fund Development teams to generate reports, provide insights, and support stewardship planning
- Maintain accurate donor records in Salesforce

- Support the monthly giving program
- Assist with legacy giving portfolios, including wills and estates
- Train and guide volunteers involved in stewardship activities

What You Bring
- Diploma or degree in a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
- Solid understanding of the nonprofit sector
- Hands-on experience with Salesforce
- Strong knowledge of CRA tax receipting guidelines and commitment to staying current with evolving regulations
- Highly detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines
- Clear and confident communicator, with the ability to explain complex processes in an approachable way
- Collaborative mindset with sound judgment and the ability to engage others effectively
- Experience working with and supporting volunteers, including training and coaching
- Proficiency in Microsoft 365 applications
- Valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle
What Makes This Role Exciting
This is more than a coordination role—it’s an opportunity to be at the heart of how generosity is experienced. Every day brings something different: connecting with donors, solving challenges, collaborating with passionate colleagues, and ensuring that every contribution is recognized and valued. If you enjoy meaningful work that blends people, process, and purpose, you’ll find this role both rewarding and energizing.
