Complete Playground | New York City (Nonprofit)

Complete Playground is expanding. We currently operate a successful inclusive children’s center in Lower Manhattan and are now evolving it into a larger children’s science museum and family discovery destination for children and families of all abilities.

We’re hiring an entrepreneurial, highly organized professional to work directly with the Founder/CEO and help drive this next phase of growth — turning ideas, relationships, and opportunities into completed initiatives.

What You’ll Do

Build and develop relationships with donors, corporate sponsors, foundations, and strategic partners

Help drive fundraising initiatives from outreach through proposals, meetings, follow-up, and closing

Research and pursue new sponsorship, fundraising, and partnership opportunities

Take ownership of the follow-through on ideas, relationships, and opportunities initiated by the Founder and drive them forward

Prepare proposals, presentations, sponsorship materials, and donor communications

Coordinate special projects tied to the organization’s growth and expansion

About the Role

This is a development and partnerships role, not an administrative one. The work is primarily external-facing: building relationships, raising money, and moving initiatives to completion with limited supervision. A small amount of scheduling and travel coordination comes with working closely with the Founder, but it is a minor part of the job.

What We’re Looking For

Proven fundraising, sponsorship, donor development, or strategic partnership experience (required)

An established network within New York’s corporate, foundation, or philanthropic community is strongly preferred

Strong relationship-building, writing, communication, and follow-through skills

Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working in a fast-moving, growth-stage environment

Nonprofit development, corporate partnership, museum, or cultural institution experience is a plus

Passion for creating meaningful impact for children and families of all abilities

Compensation

$70,000–$80,000 base salary, commensurate with experience, plus discretionary bonus based on overall organizational milestones and performance.

Join the Founder in scaling a high-impact nonprofit already serving families in New York City.
