Overview

We're looking for someone who sees data not as spreadsheets, but as stories waiting to be told.

This role sits at the intersection of donor relations, database management, and creative communication. You'll maintain the systems that power our fundraising efforts, translate giving patterns into actionable insights, and help our team understand what the numbers actually mean. If you're curious about what's possible when you combine the right data with the right questions—and you can explain your findings to people who aren't data people—we want to hear from you.

Make a tangible difference in fundraising for the vital services Racker provides for individuals with disabilities in our community by helping to share the impact of this work. 


This is a full-time, in-person position.

Starting salary range: 45,000 - $50,000


Our competitive benefits include a continuum of health care options for families and individuals, funding and time for continuing education, retirement investment with employer match, paid vacation for school holidays and breaks, paid sick time, and a 20% discount on childcare services for children/grandchildren of full time staff.

What We Do

Since 1948, Racker has been many things to many different people. We are a community, a friend, a family, and a provider of services, supports and opportunities that help people live happy and fulfilling lives. Knowing that we work within a system that is limited to helping people once they’ve received a “label” of a disability, Racker chooses instead to focus on what it is that truly makes people, all people, happy- having friends, learning new things, and being independent. We don’t focus on labels. We focus on people. We continue the vision of our founding families, that all people will be valued members of a welcoming community. That vision is the foundation for everything we do, and we work to share it throughout our community. Vision We envision a world where all people know they belong. Mission We support people with disabilities and their families to lead fulfilling lives by providing opportunities to learn and be connected with others.
