An Associate performs specific program, administrative or organizational development-related tasks.  Associates are directed in their work on a day-to-day basis and may manage grants, contracts or projects with some direction from leadership. Delta’s Development and Communications platform is undergoing expansion focused on growing unrestricted and project-additive revenue from individual, foundation, and corporate sources through the creation of a robust individual giving strategy, grant platform expansion, and event planning. We have undertaken substantial communications realignment and expansion over the past two years, telling our story from a strategic- and impact-focused perspective.
