Donor Communication – Thanking, sharing ministry impact, and inviting are the three core aspects of fundraising communication. You will help write and implement this messaging to our Ministry’s champions across all platforms – OnAir, Social Media, Print and Email.

Relationship Development – It all starts and ends with people. You will manage a portfolio of supporters with whom you’ll invest in to help grow into a deeper relationship with God, you, and The River.

Our Core Values

Authenticity

There are no perfect people here. Only a flawed but weirdly
beautiful work-family. Acting polished and put-together is one
of the greatest barriers to unity. We fight fakeness with
honesty, encouraging words, playful moments, and buckets
of forgiveness. Realness binds us together. (Heb 10:24)

Ownership

We’re called to serve this community with heart. That means
our small tasks are infused with as much excellence as the big
ones. We do everything we can to create a WOW experience
for our listeners… And for each other. We’re responsible for
losing, winning, and serving well. Excellence is up to us.
(1 Cor. 10:31)

Innovation

If we stand still, our work becomes irrelevant. And reaching people for Jesus is too important to become irrelevant. So we partner with unlikely partners, we challenge the norm, we look beyond our industry, and we take bold risks. There’s no relaxing into the slump of status quo. We seek change, not comfort. (Luke 2:52 / Matt. 28:19)

Communication

Silence - both accidental and intentional - stunts our potential and divides departments. We prevent "silos" when we hold ourselves and each other accountable to speak honest words, on time, with kindness. Our words bring movement.
(Proverbs 16:23)
