About Sethu

Sethu is a not-for-profit organisation based in Goa, dedicated to ensuring that

every child, especially those facing neurodevelopmental, emotional, educational

or behavioural challenges, can thrive within their families and communities.

Since our inception, we have supported over 10,500 children and caregivers,

providing assessment, therapy, early intervention, and caregiver training rooted in

neuro-affirming, strengths-based, family-centred care. We have collaborated

closely with local government departments, other reputed NGOs, and companies.

The Role

We are seeking a driven Fundraising & Development Officer to drive the execution of

Sethu's resource mobilization efforts. You will work in a team with Communications

professionals and the COO, helping to execute a cohesive fundraising roadmap by

managing grant compliance, drafting compelling proposals, and ensuring a high

standard of donor stewardship.

This is a full time, in-person, campus-based role. The challenges of modern fundraising

require dynamic brainstorming, direct communication, and a deep, daily connection to

the cause – things that can only be achieved by being physically present at the Centre.

Key Responsibilities

Pipeline Execution & Campaign Management: Maintain a structured pipeline of

fundraising opportunities. Plan and execute targeted fundraising campaigns

(such as crowdfunding) tailored for domestic audiences (CSR, foundations, HNIs)

and international supporters.

Grant Management & Institutional Compliance: Oversee the end-to-end reporting

process – from data collection to final submission. Work closely with program and

finance teams to create high-quality reports that fulfill donor commitments on time.

Maintain compliance and timely communication with international organizations

for global diaspora funding.

Due Diligence & Renewals: Complete due diligence submissions for

new donors and draft proposals for the renewal of existing individual,

corporate, and institutional grants.

On-site Engagement & Corporate Partnerships: Plan and execute on-





site meetings for our valuable supporters. Manage the logistics and execution of corporate engagement models, such as hosting

employee volunteering days.

Narrative Translation & Storytelling: Participate in regular communication through

acknowledgments, newsletters, and impact stories. Articulate the efficacy of Sethu's

WHO-ICF aligned Trifecta Model (neuro-affirming, strengths-based, and family-centred

care) into sharp, audience-specific narratives and evidence-based grant proposals.

Donor Database & Administration: Maintain and regularly update Sethu's historical and

current donor databases, ensuring accurate tracking of financial commitments,

reporting deadlines, and high standards of stewardship.

Candidate Profile

Educational Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in the Social Sciences,

Development Studies, Communications, Business Administration, or a related field.

Experience: 2 to 4 years of experience specifically in NGO fundraising, CSR

coordination, grant administration, or corporate communications.

Proactive Ownership: You do not wait for instructions. You are comfortable taking

the initiative, driving projects forward independently, and exploring new avenues

to build awareness about Sethu's projects.

Mission Immersion: A deep empathy for child development and family guidance.

You actively connect with our programs and mission to develop a deep

understanding of our daily work..

Strong Communicator: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the

ability to draft structured proposals, concept notes, impact reports, donor

newsletters, and compelling pitch narratives.

Organizational Skills: High attention to detail, capable of tracking multiple grant

deadlines, compliance metrics, and managing a CRM/donor database effectively.
