All Roads (formerly Boulder Shelter for the
Homeless) has been a fixture in the community since 1982, providing a bed,
meals, services, and a bit of dignity to those experiencing homelessness in our
community. Today, our mission is to create avenues to stable housing for our
community’s homeless adults, from a foundation of supportive and safe shelter. All
Roads has a strong culture of collaboration, communication, compassion,
dignity, and support, which yields an inclusive and engaging dynamic within the
organization.
Assistant Director of Development
All Roads is seeking a creative, confident, detail-oriented
individual to serve as the lead staff member on a variety of major donor fundraising
functions, as assigned by the Chief Development and Communications Officer

We are looking for someone with nonprofit fundraising experience,
and a willingness to create new fundraising projects in an entrepreneurial
atmosphere. A commitment to the principles and issue area that All Roads
represents is crucial. This position reports to the CDCO.
