This is no small task — which is why we’re looking for passionate people to join our team and help propel our work forward to power the possible.

• Working in collaboration with other departments, develop and implement annual solicitation, cultivation, stewardship and recognition plans for annual donors from various stakeholder groups to increase revenue, donor acquisition and retention, and ultimately our donor pipeline for leadership and major gifts.
• Oversee the data management of the portfolio by ensuring accurate information is being tracked and entered in the donor database and preparing and analyzing reports to support the growth of assigned fundraising programs and donors.

• Demonstrated ability and comfort with public speaking and presentations; ability to deliver information in an inspiring and meaningful way.
• The ability to navigate sensitive donor situations or complaints with tact and diplomacy.
• Raiser’s Edge NXT or other database experience is an asset.
• Valid BC Driver’s License and access to a vehicle for donor meetings and events.
• Ability to work flexible hours as needed, including evenings and weekends, to attend various community events.
