About the Mission
Bonton Farms is more than a community garden; it is a catalyst for social impact and community transformation in Dallas. As a mission ambassador, you will help tell the story of how we cultivate food, foster relationships, and empower our neighbors. This role sits at the intersection of development, storytelling, partnerships, and program activation, bridging the gap between our daily operations at the farm, market, and caf, and the broader DFW Airport programming and retail partnerships that sustain us.
About the Role
The Development Coordinator serves as a vital relationship builder, dedicated to capturing the authentic voice of our community. You will be the primary point of contact for our volunteer network, transforming casual service into deep, lasting connections that often evolve into long-term donor relationships. Your day will involve coordinating complex logistics for farm tours and engagement events, drafting compelling impact stories that highlight our apprentices and partners, and supporting the Director of Development in cultivating corporate and individual giving opportunities.
This position is ideal for someone who is relational, organized, and entrepreneurial. You will work collaboratively with farm leaders, the marketing team, and program directors to ensure every interaction—from a volunteer orientation to a donor appreciation event—reinforces the emotional connection to our mission. You will help translate the success of our airport retail partnerships into compelling narratives that drive support and visibility for Bonton Farms.
