ABOUT JAN ZABEN

I’m a nonprofit professional who finds meaning in the details and purpose in the mission. In my current role in donor relations and corporate social responsibility, I build and manage partnerships while leading offsite volunteer experiences that connect companies to community impact in tangible, lasting ways.Over the past year, I’ve partnered with 20+ corporate organizations, coordinated 6+ offsite volunteer activations, and engaged volunteers—expanding community reach and strengthening partner involvement. I’ve also contributed to increasing donor retention and engagement by 25%, helping drive more sustainable and meaningful support.Alongside this work, I manage the day-to-day administrative operations that keep development efforts running smoothly, including donor database management, data entry, and gift tracking. I take pride in maintaining accurate, organized data to ensure thoughtful stewardship, informed strategy, and a seamless donor experience.With a background in event coordination and donor engagement, I create experiences that bring people together—and inspire them to give, connect, and care. From corporate volunteer activations to donor stewardship, I focus on making every interaction intentional, seamless, and impactful.Behind the scenes, I ensure every timeline, touchpoint, and follow-up reflects both strategy and heart. Whether managing logistics, maintaining data integrity, or strengthening relationships, I lead with empathy, stay focused on the bigger picture, and never lose sight of the people behind the cause.I’m especially passionate about the intersection of community, corporate engagement, and generosity—where strategy meets storytelling, and impact becomes personal.
