Dar-us-Salaam, a multi-faceted  community centered Islamic organization and the parent organization of Al-Huda School in College Park, Maryland, is seeking Muslims who are passionate about serving Islam to join its Funding and Development Office -- a core Dar-us-Salaam department which manages donations, donor relations, marketing, and financial sustainability projects for Dar-us-Salaam.

Funding Development Operations Director

The Funding Development Operations Director works closely with the Funding Development Executive Director to ensure donors and their charitable giving find a responsive and efficient trustee in Dar-us-Salaam.

Donors expect their donations will be processed, acknowledged, and used faithfully.

  • Payment processing: entering donations using an online system, and working with the finance department to ensure timely and accurate bank deposits
  • Procurement: researching and selecting vendors, products, and event venues
  • Strategizing: participating in brainstorming sessions and other strategic meetings
