Job Description

The American Heart Association (AHA) is a renowned nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting cardiovascular disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death worldwide. Founded in 1924, the AHA has made significant strides in reducing cardiovascular disease deaths by half and continuously works to advance the health and well-being of communities through research, education, advocacy, and public health initiatives. Their mission is to promote longer, healthier lives for people of all backgrounds and to create equitable health outcomes regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, or physical ability. The AHA is not only a respected leader in cardiovascular health but also an advocate for healthier policies and breakthroughs in medical science. The organization fosters a strong culture of work-life harmonization, emphasizing employee development, inclusivity, and community impact. They invest in their workforce with comprehensive training programs, such as Heart U, the organization’s award-winning corporate university, providing employees with ongoing professional growth and support.

The American Heart Association is currently seeking a Development Coordinator to join their Hawaii Division based in Honolulu. This is a full-time, office-based role that requires on-site presence Monday through Thursday, with occasional additional days as necessary. The salary ranges from $25.00 to $29.50 per hour and is commensurate with experience and geographic considerations. This opportunity offers a chance to contribute to vital fundraising campaigns that support the organization’s life-saving mission. The Development Coordinator plays a key role in planning, coordinating, and implementing fundraising activities and events. Through exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and strong data management, the incumbent will ensure smooth operation and high-quality service in support of staff, volunteers, and donor relations.

Beyond core administrative duties, the Development Coordinator will engage with volunteers, manage event logistics, handle gift processing, and maintain accurate customer and campaign information within the American Heart Association’s systems. The role demands effective communication and collaboration to support the team’s efforts in achieving shared goals. The AHA fosters a supportive work environment that values employee well-being through a structured benefits package including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance, as well as retirement programs with employer contributions. Additionally, paid time off, holidays, tuition assistance, and wellness programs help cultivate a balanced professional and personal life.

Joining the American Heart Association means being part of a movement dedicated to accelerating progress in cardiovascular and brain health for all communities. The position offers more than just a job; it provides an opportunity to make an extraordinary impact on public health, grow professionally, and thrive within a values-driven culture that champions diversity and inclusion. If you are a proactive individual with a passion for making a difference and possess strong skills in project management, communication, and administrative support, this role is an excellent fit. The AHA invites you to be seen, be heard, and be valued as you contribute to their enduring legacy of health advocacy and scientific advancement.
