Monarch Justice Center is seeking a relational, strategic, and hands-on Development Director to help grow and sustain the resources needed to support survivors across Napa County.
This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who is energized by building meaningful relationships, developing fundraising strategy, and translating vision into action.
