90 days in as a Community Engagement Coordinator — feeling lost in my role and struggling to hit my fundraising goal

I just hit my 90-day mark at a nonprofit and I'm struggling to find my footing. My title is Community Engagement Coordinator, but in practice my role is focused on orchestrating cause-marketing and third-party events — while our volunteer ambassadors handle all tabling through the Volunteer Coordinator.

I've asked my manager for more clarity on my responsibilities, but I still find myself with significant downtime most days, unsure where to direct my energy.

Meanwhile, a colleague manages our corporate donor relationships but doesn't feel comfortable pitching them on cause-marketing events, and doesn't loop me in when those conversations happen. So I'm left trying to build partnerships through cold outreach, without access to the relationships that already exist in our organization.

My colleagues are bringing in major donations and working incredibly hard, and I feel the weight of that contrast. As an entry-level employee, building corporate and community partnerships from scratch is difficult enough — doing it without internal support or warm leads makes it feel even more uphill.
