All sustainer donations will receive 25% commission for every month (up to 12 months) a donation is received as long as the coordinator is employed as a coordinator. First payment must be received within 60
days of pledge to qualify for commission.

The position requires that the Coordinator work with Staff and Fundraising Committee to set realistic goals and fundraising targets.
